On Wednesday, the Chinese mainland successfully launched the commercial Lijian-1 Y7 carrier rocket from a commercial aerospace innovation pilot zone in the northwest.
The rocket lifted off at 12:05 p.m. Beijing time and deployed six satellites into their planned orbits, marking the seventh flight mission in the Lijian-1 series.
This milestone underlines the rapid growth of private aerospace ventures, opening new avenues for global connectivity, Earth observation, and collaborative research.
Tech entrepreneurs, young researchers, and space fans around the world are watching closely as affordable, reliable launches reshape satellite-based services and data-driven innovation.
With each successful mission, the small satellite ecosystem gains momentum, setting the stage for fresh breakthroughs in space technology.
