The construction project for the assembly, testing, and reuse facility dedicated to medium-to-large liquid-fueled carrier rockets has officially broken ground in Qiantang District, Hangzhou. This initiative marks China's inaugural capacity hub for offshore rocket retrieval and reuse, as well as the nation's first-ever stainless steel rocket megafactory. With a substantial total investment of 5.2 billion yuan, the project encompasses comprehensive centers for rocket recovery and reuse, inspection and testing, along with production and manufacturing operations.

Upon full operationalization, the facility is projected to manufacture 25 rockets annually, facilitating swift inspection, repair, and subsequent reuse of retrieved rockets. The 'Qiantang' rocket, engineered by Jianyuan Technology, exhibits remarkable payload capabilities. Its first stage is designed for up to 20 reuses, significantly driving down launch costs per kilogram.

During the groundbreaking event, Jianyuan Technology forged strategic cooperation agreements with three other enterprises, with the shared vision of co-establishing the Hangzhou Innovation Community.
