标题: LandSpace Leads RMB 95 Million Bid for Chengdu Aircraft Institute Launch Service, with In-Orbit Delivery Within Five Years [打印本页] 作者: admin 时间: 2026-10-31 07:59 标题: LandSpace Leads RMB 95 Million Bid for Chengdu Aircraft Institute Launch Service, with In-Orbit Delivery Within Five Years On October 28, 2026, Nanjixiong learned that LandSpace Technology Co., Ltd. was named the first-ranked candidate for the Chengdu Aircraft Design and Research Institute's “Launch Vehicle Launch Service for an Aircraft” project, with a bid of RMB 95 million. Beijing CAS Space Technology Co., Ltd. ranked second with a bid of RMB 100 million.
According to the notice, both candidates committed to completing the launch and in-orbit delivery within five years of contract signing. The project owner is the Chengdu Aircraft Design and Research Institute. Outside observers have speculated that the unspecified aircraft could be connected to a cargo spaceplane, but officials have not disclosed the payload.
LandSpace is a private Chinese liquid-oxygen/methane rocket company. Its improved Zhuque-2 has entered regular commercial service and most recently launched ten satellites on September 15 for the Qianfan constellation. The company is also developing the reusable Zhuque-3 rocket.
Nanjixiong's observations
Launch-service orders opening to the aviation industry point to accelerating use of combined rockets and aircraft in defense and civilian fields. For additive manufacturing, growing launch frequency may increase demand for 3D-printed rocket engine combustion chambers, turbopumps, and rocket structures, offering a growth opportunity for metal AM.
