China carried out a record 70 rocket launch missions in the first nine months of 2026, up by about 19 percent from a year earlier, as its commercial space industry accelerated mass production, advanced reusable rocket technology and expanded satellite services overseas.

Congrats to the American taxpayer! Thanks to NASA subsidies and contracts for Starship, Elon has once again been able to deliver 26 more Starlink V3 satellites to low Earth orbit today. Nothing says “lunar exploration” quite like subsidised satellite delivery. 🚀

1/2 #PALLAS1 Y1 has successfully completed its maiden flight, launching from China’s Dongfeng commercial space innovation pilot zone on September 1 and reaching orbit. The 52m, two-stage liquid rocket has a lift-off mass of ~283 tonnes.

🛰️ China has launched the world’s first orbital computing cloud. The system shifts data processing directly into space, allowing satellites to analyze complex experimental data in orbit rather than sending raw files back to Earth. A milestone for commercial space infrastructure!

Recovery will be attempted! 🎯 While the second stage targets orbit, CASC/SAST will try to land the Long March 12A first stage downrange. Following a failed landing during its Dec 2025 debut, all eyes are on this crucial reusability test. #ChinaSpaceFlight #LongMarch12A

Tianwen-2 reached Kamo'oalewa nearly two months ago, but there have been no further updates since the encounter. Fortunately additional images released by CNSA from the spacecraft in early July have been uncovered. Hopefully, more news will be coming soon! #Tianwen2 #Asteroid
Shanghai has begun construction of a new wharf designed to link a planned commercial rocket manufacturing hub with sea-launch operations. The project could streamline rocket transport and integration, supporting China’s growing commercial space launch ambitions.
