CASC is likely only going to be about 15 launches behind its target this year, with an expected total of approximately 70 launches out of a target of 85.

Mentioned as: China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp. (CASC)Narrative GeneralNov 18, 2025Therefore Chinese LSP are likely going to be 50 launches behind their target this year, a worse result than last year's However CASC is likely only going to be ~15 launches behind theirs (~70/85 launches), a better performance than last year's (19 launches behind their 70 target)

Approximately 50 of the planned Chinese launches were from non-CASC launch service providers.

Mentioned as: China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp. (CASC)Narrative GeneralNov 18, 2025This year's blue book and launch number target was never released, however based on this year's performance and previously announced goals, it can be estimated that there were around 135 planned Chinese launches this year, of which ~50 would have been from non-CASC LSP.

CASC's expected performance this year is better than last year's performance, where it was 19 launches behind its target of 70.
