LandSpace's Zhuque-2 Launches Ten Satellites in Another Successful Mission

At 7:40 PM Beijing Time on October 14, 2026, the Zhuque-2E Y4 (ZQ-2E Y4) rocket lifted off from LandSpace's liquid oxygen-methane launch pad at the Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Test Zone. Using a "rideshare" configuration with one rocket carrying ten satellites, it successfully delivered the Guoxing Aerospace Star Era-39, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, and 50 satellites, along with Lanta Intelligence Guangchuan-03 and 04, into their designated orbits. The mission was a complete success.

This marks the 10th flight of the Zhuque-2 rocket family.

The eight Guoxing Aerospace satellites — Star Era-39 and Star Era-44 through 50 — were independently developed by Guoxing Aerospace. They are primarily designed to validate high-performance computing payloads, inter-satellite and satellite-to-ground high-speed laser communications, and large-area radiative cooling panels.

The Guangchuan-03 and 04 satellites were developed by Lanta Intelligence as next-generation laser data transmission test satellites targeting key technologies for satellite constellation networking. They will conduct focused in-orbit validation of high-integration onboard processing units, large-aperture high-speed laser communications, integrated laser routing communication modules, and novel solar array power systems — continuously refining the technical framework for large-scale constellation deployment.

LandSpace is currently advancing both the routine commercial launches of the Zhuque-2E and the engineering reusability validation of Zhuque-3, while building out critical satellite constellation capabilities through Lanta Intelligence. This strengthens satellite-launch vehicle technical synergy, expands integrated service capabilities for satellite internet construction, and steadily improves reliable, efficient space access — supporting China's satellite internet buildout and the scaled growth of commercial space.
