At 12:03 Beijing Time on September 20, 2026, China successfully conducted a "nine satellites on one rocket" launch using the Lijian-1 Y18 launch vehicle (CAS Space) at the Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Test Zone. The Qinling-01/02 satellites, Pujiang-4, Pengcheng Shoufa, Diting-01 Group A/B/C, Chao Zhisuan-1, and Yunxiao Tanluzhe all entered their planned orbits. This was the 16th flight of Lijian-1, bringing the cumulative total to 119 satellites placed in orbit, with the launch schedule now extending to the second half of 2027. The Chao Zhisuan-1 satellite carried on this mission is a computing-power satellite that explores the "space sensing, space computing" pathway for intelligent in-orbit processing. CAS Space is building a combined model of "routine high-frequency land launches plus mobile specialized sea launches," driving commercial space launches into a batch-production cadence. For the powder industry: the rising frequency of commercial space launches directly drives demand for additively manufactured rocket engine components (thrust chambers, turbopumps, injectors) and satellite-borne structural parts, while demand for aerospace-grade high-temperature alloy and titanium alloy spherical powders and specialized grades such as S-03 steel is rising in tandem. The batch placement of satellites into orbit also provides stable order expectations for downstream powder users.
