CAS Space Lijian-1 Y7 Commercial Rocket Launch: Six Satellites Delivered to Orbit

CAS Space launched its Lijian-1 Y7 (also known as Kinetica-1 Y7) commercial carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China on May 21, 2025, successfully placing six satellites into orbit. This marks the seventh launch of the Lijian-1 carrier rocket series.

CAS Space is a Chinese commercial space launch provider based in Guangzhou, capital and largest city of Guangdong province in southern China. It was founded in 2018 and is majority owned by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

The Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center (JSLC) was founded in 1958. It was the first of China's four spaceports. The launch center has been the focus of many of China's historic space ventures, including the country's first satellite Dong Fang Hong I in 1970 and their first crewed space mission, Shenzhou V, on October 15, 2003. JSLC is now a home for many new Chinese launch firms, like CAS Space.
