深圳市翎客航天技术有限公司
LinkSpace Aerospace Technology Group, also known as Lingke Aerospace, is a Chinese private space launch company founded in 2014 and based in Beijing. As the first privately-funded rocket firm in China, LinkSpace develops reusable rocket technology, including vertical-takeoff/vertical-landing (VTVL) prototypes. The company is developing the New Line 1 rocket for launching microsats and nanosats and aims to provide frequent, reliable, and low-cost space transportation services, potentially including suborbital point-to-point transport. Linkspace is similar to SpaceX with its reusability goals.
