On April 14, 2026, the Zhongke Aerospace Lijian-1 Y12 rocket successfully launched "One Rocket, Eight Stars" from the Dongfeng Commercial Aerospace Innovation Experimental Zone. This mission adopts the "special vehicle" launch mode, compressing the contract to launch cycle to 6 months, marking the official entry of China's commercial aerospace into the era of "flight based" mass production. Relying on a pulsating production line, the rocket assembly cycle has been reduced to 30 days, and the future annual production will reach 30 missiles. Editor/Cheng Liting
