In a remarkable feat, two distinct private commercial carrier rockets took to the skies within a mere two-day span, both embarking on network deployment missions for the Qianfan satellite constellation. The Zhuque-2 Modified Yaoji (Remote Sensing 7) rocket, crafted by LandSpace, successfully ferried 10 satellites into their designated orbits. This achievement marked China's pioneering private space endeavor to execute a large-scale satellite internet constellation network deployment, showcasing the nation's growing prowess in the space sector.

Simultaneously, the Gravity-1 (Yaosan 3) rocket, hailing from Orient Space, propelled 9 satellites into orbit, achieving a global first: a seaborne mobile launch specifically tailored for a low-Earth-orbit broadband internet constellation network deployment. This innovative approach underscores the versatility and adaptability of private commercial rockets in meeting diverse space mission requirements.

These twin launches underscore a pivotal shift, with private commercial rockets now emerging as the cornerstone of transportation capacity for massive low-Earth-orbit constellation network deployments. The collaborative network deployment model, featuring a blend of 'national team + commercial team' efforts, is rapidly taking shape, propelling the Qianfan satellite constellation network deployment into a phase of accelerated advancement.

Currently, the Qianfan satellite constellation is undergoing a high-frequency network deployment phase, characterized by an urgent need for high-capacity, high-frequency, and cost-effective transportation solutions. The Zhuque-2 Modified rocket has already achieved regular commercial launch status, with its engine manufacturing base boasting an annual production capacity exceeding 100 engines. Similarly, the Gravity-1 has entered the batch commercial operation phase, with plans to launch every two months, and an ambition to conduct six launches next year while expanding its launch pad infrastructure.

Both companies are also forging ahead with the development of next-generation reusable high-capacity rockets. LandSpace's Zhuque-3 is progressing towards engineering reuse verification, while Orient Space's Gravity-2 is slated for its maiden flight next year, further bolstering network deployment capabilities.

Industry experts anticipate that it will take at least 4 to 5 years for the private space industry to establish a stable and mature industrial landscape, with a full-fledged ecosystem taking shape within 5 to 10 years. This transformation will hinge on several key factors, including the maturation of recoverable rocket technology, the widespread adoption of large liquid-fueled rockets, and the enhancement of satellite batch launch capabilities, paving the way for a new era in space exploration and utilization.
