Orienspace, founded in 2020, is a Chinese commercial aerospace company focused on designing and manufacturing launch vehicles and rocket engines. They develop the Gravity series of launch vehicles, including the Gravity-1, the world's most powerful solid-propellant launch vehicle, designed for cost-effective deployment of satellite constellations to low Earth orbit. Orienspace is also developing the Gravity-2, a recoverable medium-lift rocket, and Force Series liquid engines. They aim to provide flexible launch solutions from both ground and sea platforms.
