On Saturday, a commercial rocket lifted off at 12:12 p.m. Beijing Time from the Dongfeng commercial space innovation pilot zone near the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on the Chinese mainland. The ZQ-2E Y2, part of LandSpace’s ZQ-2 rocket family, successfully deployed six satellites into orbit on its fifth mission.
Beijing-based LandSpace said the ZQ-2E is an enhanced model of the original ZQ-2, featuring a more compact design and improved engine performance. These upgrades showcase the company’s focus on innovation and efficiency.
With each flight building on the last, the ZQ-2 series highlights the growing momentum of commercial space ventures in the Chinese mainland. From research teams to global partners, agile launch services are reshaping how organizations plan their space-based projects.
The ZQ-2E Y2’s success sets the stage for LandSpace’s next missions, driving fresh possibilities for future satellite deployments worldwide.
