- Private Chinese rocket maker LandSpace has completed its series C+ funding worth 1.2 billion yuan (about $175 million), the company announced on Wednesday.
The latest round of funding will support the development of the ZQ 2 liquid-propellant carrier rocket, as well as the research and production of medium and large liquid oxygen-methane carrier rockets.
Zhang Changwu, founder and CEO of LandSpace, said the company will focus on the demand for commercial satellite launches and enhance the transport capacity of the ZQ series liquid-propellant rockets.
By the end of August, the company had completed hot firing tests for 80-tonne and 10-tonne TQ rocket engines.
The ZQ-2 liquid-propellant rocket has undergone a series of ground tests, with key components delivered.
Equipped with modern radar and fire-control systems, it is capable of staying airborne for three hours in a single operation and can carry as much as 3 tons of missiles, rockets or bombs.
Politically sensitive remarks by Daryl Morey, Houston Rockets' general manager, deeply offended Chinese fans.
"Musk said he believes China's future to be very impressive and is happy to see some substantial progress on some entrepreneurial rocket companies in China whose rockets have made orbits.
As China's private rocket enterprises strive to expand their presence in the Chinese space sector, they have also started tapping the international market.
LandSpace, a Beijing-based space startup and one of the leading private rocket makers in China, announced on Wednesday at the International Aviation and Space Salon 2019 in Russia that it has begun inviting payload partners from around the globe to consider using its ZQ 2 liquid-propellant, medium-lift carrier rocket.
A rising star in the Chinese space industry, LandSpace brought scale models of several types of carrier rockets to the air show, also known as MAKS 2019, which runs from Tuesday to Sunday.
OneSpace, another rocket startup headquartered in Beijing, has attended two international expos since 2018 to promote its commercial launch services.
It will be propelled by LandSpace's TQ-12 oxygen-methane rocket engines, the first of their kind in China.
Compared with traditional types of rocket engines, oxygen-methane engines are reusable.
Zhang Changwu, founder and CEO of LandSpace, told China Daily in May that his company "is focused on the development of the ZQ 2", calling it "the largest and most powerful carrier rocket designed and built by a Chinese private rocket company".
The founder said mass production of the TQ-12 engine and the ZQ 2 rocket "will begin later this year at our Huzhou plant", the first privately owned carrier rocket factory in China, and the largest of its kind in Asia.
The Huzhou facility in Zhejiang province will be able to produce about 15 ZQ 2 rockets and 200 TQ-12 engines annually starting in 2022, he said.
Altogether, their installed capacity would be 41 megawatts and can generate an estimated annual power output of 41 million kWh - enough to recharge 4 billion smartphones, or even launch 12 rockets to the moon, according to the company.
The Xinjiang Oilfield Company said that it produced 4.32 million tons of heavy crude oil last year and has become China's largest production base for high-quality naphthenic base heavy oil, a rare raw material for industrial products such as rocket propellant and cold-resistant engine oil.
This supply is able to recharge 4 billion smart phones, or launch 12 rockets to the moon, according to the company.
The duopoly of State-owned giants China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp and China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp remains unchallenged because they are in control of the most essential part of the space business－the carrier rockets.
In the latest attempt from the private sector, OneSpace Technology, a space startup based in Beijing, announced on Tuesday that it has finished the construction and testing of its first carrier rocket, the OS-M, and is ready to transport it to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China for the model's debut mission in late March.
If the mission is successful, OS-M will become the first carrier rocket designed and built by a private Chinese company to fulfill an orbital launch.
In October, LandSpace, another private space company based in Beijing, launched a carrier rocket, the first of its ZQ 1 series, at the Jiuquan center, aiming to complete an orbital mission.
However, the rocket, which carried a small satellite, failed to reach orbit due to mechanical malfunctions.
OneSpace said in a statement on Tuesday that OS-M is a type of solid-propellant rocket with four stages.
Zhang Jie, chief designer of OS-M, said engineers have examined and tested the compatibility and stability of equipment mounted on the rocket and the launchpad.
Established by Shu Chang, who has been dubbed China's Elon Musk, and several companions in 2015, OneSpace Technology has carried out two successful suborbital launches of its OS-X sounding rocket and has received huge amounts of investment from the capital market.
Since the beginning of China's space industry, the research and development of carrier rockets has been tightly held by State-owned enterprises.
As a result, nearly 10 private rocket firms have come into existence in China over the past three years.
LandSpace and i-Space have also announced that they want to make at least one launch of their carrier rockets, but have yet to publish a schedule.
The market size of commercial space industry will break through the 1 trillion yuan mark by 2023, with the commercial rockets' market size surpassing 10 billion yuan, HIT Venture Capital's senior investment manager Feng Xu said at the firm's third anniversary held in Beijing on Friday.
Last year, three Chinese private aerospace companies iSpace, OneSpcae, Landspace successfully launched their rockets in April, May and December, respectively, as well as the first satellite of the Hongyan constellation, and the first satellite of the Hongyun project, which are China's low-orbit broadband communications satellite constellations, also successfully launched in February and December.
"The firm has also used celebrity influencers, such as three members of Rocket Girls 101, an 11-member pop group from the Chinese reality show Produce 101, as a way to exploit the potent power of social media.

LOS ANGELES - US aerospace manufacturer Rocket Lab reached orbit for the first time with its second test flight of the Electron orbital launch vehicle, dubbed "Still Testing," the company announced Sunday.
We're thrilled to reach this milestone so quickly after our first test launch," Rocket Lab CEO and founder Peter Beck said in a statement.
"Reaching orbit on a second test flight is significant on its own, but successfully deploying customer payloads so early in a new rocket program is almost unprecedented," said Beck.
It was the first orbital-class rocket launched from a private launch site in the world.
Rocket Lab currently has five Electron vehicles in production, with the next launch expected to take place in early 2018, according to the company.
SHANGHAI — China's first commercial rocket launch company has raised 1.2 billion yuan ($181.5 million) for the development and launch of its Kuaizhou series carrier rockets.
CASIC Rocket Technology Company, based in the central city of Wuhan, said it signed fund raising agreements with eight investment institutions at the Shanghai United Assets and Equity Exchange Monday.
Zhang Di, vice president of China Sanjiang Space Group and chairman of CASIC Rocket Technology, said the original shareholders did not participate in the capital raising.
"The fund will be mainly invested in the development of Kuaizhou series carrier rockets, the rocket assembly facility and other upstream and downstream commercial space businesses," Zhang said.
CASIC Rocket Technology was jointly established in February 2016 by China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation Limited (CASIC) and China Sanjiang Space Group.
Kuaizhou-11, the company's latest carrier rocket, has entered the testing and debugging phase and is scheduled to embark on its maiden flight carrying six satellites in the first half of 2018.
The steelmaker admitted over the weekend it had falsified data about the quality of aluminum and copper products used in cars, aircraft, space rockets and defense equipment.

Viya, another online influencer, sold rockets developed by an aerospace technology firm in Wuhan, Central China's Hubei province, on her livestream on Wednesday.
Those who purchased the rockets can paint the rocket shell with a motif/shade of their choice before it is launched into space.
Priced at a whopping 45 million yuan apiece, the rockets were offered with a five-million yuan discount.
It covers the research, development, production, testing, launch, safety and technology control of a "commercial carrier rocket", which is defined as a rocket designed and built from non-State funds intended to make a profit.
The regulation says that makers of the rocket, engine or any part containing explosive or inflammable substances must obtain approval from related authorities before starting their operations.
Yao Bowen, a spokesman for the Beijing-based, private rocket maker i-Space, said on Tuesday that the regulation will provide a statutory foundation for China's commercial space sector and help nurture innovation by private companies.
"The regulation stipulates that only enterprises with the required qualifications will be allowed to take part in research, production and launch of carrier rockets, closing doors to those who use the name of 'commercial space' to bamboozle investors," he explained.
More than 90 Chinese startups, mostly focused on satellites or rockets, have taken their first steps in the space industry in the past four years, a senior industry expert from a Beijing-based satellite startup, who wished to remain anonymous, told China Daily based on the startup's internal research.
Lei Jun, chairman of Xiaomi, and a deputy to the 13th National People's Congress, said despite being a relatively new entrant to the global commercial space arena, China has seen strong momentum in recent years with nearly 100 startups established to engage in fields such as rocket or satellite design and production.
Lei's comments came after private space companies iSpace and One-Space last year succeeded in their respective efforts to send their designed and produced rockets into suborbital space, which is significantly lower than orbital altitudes.
Another startup, LandSpace, launched its first orbital rocket carrying a small satellite in October, but the cargo did not reach its target orbit.
In 2018, these three rocket startups held a fundraising round, with each raising 700 million yuan ($101.95 million) to 800 million yuan.
Last year also marked the first time that China had launched more rockets into orbit than any other country in a single year.
Hu Shengyun, a senior rocket designer at China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp, and a deputy to the 13th NPC, said after years of preparation and development, China's aerospace sector is seeing more players in addition to the country's big two State-owned tech giants CASIC and China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp. Ma Chunfeng, general manager at Shenzhen-based Qianhai Wutong Mergers and Acquisitions Funds, said private space companies are working hard to reduce costs and improve the efficiency of rocket launches, which would enable China's commercial space sector to have broad opportunities and scope for growth, although it won't yield profits in the short term.
Analysts predicted that China's commercial space sector, including rockets, satellite applications, and space-to-ground internet connections, is still in its infancy, but it will grow into a multibillion dollar market by 2020.
For instance, Foshan Blue Rocket Electronics, a chip packaging company listed in Shenzhen, saw its shares rise by the maximum daily limit of 10 percent for the second consecutive day.
If that's a wonder, for thousands of participants at the Zhongguancun Forum, a tech event held in Beijing in May, the surprise on-screen appearance made by Qian Xuesen, a Chinese aerospace engineer who helped develop the rockets that fired China's first satellite into space, was no less than a marvel.
Musk has reportedly been happy with Texas, where his SpaceX rocket company has operations in Brownsville and in McGregor north of Austin.
