On January 13, 2026, China conducted two successful Long March rocket launches, deploying a Yaogan-50 satellite into a highly retrograde orbit and launching nine Guowang satellites into low Earth orbit. This marks the beginning of China's accelerated launch cadence for 2026, with significant implications for the country's space-based capabilities and the global aerospace industry.
Chinese commercial launch startup Landspace has secured contracts to launch satellites for the Guowang and Qianfan megaconstellation projects, marking a significant milestone in the country's space ambitions. The company's reusable Zhuque-3 rocket, powered by methane-liquid oxygen propulsion, will play a key role in deploying these constellations.
China is developing a reusable variant of its Long March 10 crew launch vehicle, aiming for a first launch in the first half of 2026, which will significantly enhance its space launch capabilities. This new rocket is designed to carry substantial payloads to orbit, supporting China"s ambitious space programs.
China has set a new global record for the most orbital launches in a year, reaching 92 launches in 2025, surpassing its previous record of 68 set in 2024. The final two launches of the year carried the Tianhui-7 remote sensing satellite and the Shijian-29 A and B technology test satellites into space.
China has successfully launched three Long March rockets in less than 19 hours, setting a new national record for launch cadence and extending its yearly orbital-launch tally to 83. This achievement demonstrates China's growing capabilities in space exploration and its commitment to advancing its aerospace industry.
