The connection to CASC indicates a significant level of access to the state supply chain.

Mentioned as: China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp. (CASC)Narrative GeneralOct 28, 2025👀 The Chinese commercial launch sector sees another new entrant, this one with a very aggressive timeline: a claimed maiden launch by the end of the year. What makes this notable is that they already have hardware, not just plans, with YF-102 kerolox engines supplied directly by CASC. This connection suggests a significant level of state supply chain access.

CASC noted that preparations for future launches are also progressing alongside the launch of Gaofen-14-02.

CASC's Long March 8A rocket will gain the ability to deorbit its spent upper stage starting in 2024.

Mentioned as: China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp. (CASC)Org RelationshipOct 22, 2025In a significant development for space sustainability, CASC's Long March 8A rocket is set to gain the ability to deorbit its spent upper stage starting next year, made by the newly certified YF-75DB engine, which recently passed a series of fire tests. The engine's key upgrade, a new torch ignition system, allows for the multiple restarts needed to conduct a deorbit burn after payload deployment.
