LandSpace

LandSpace is a Chinese private aerospace company focused on the development of orbital launch vehicles, with an emphasis on reusable systems and methane-liquid oxygen propulsion. The company gained international attention with the Zhuque-2 rocket, one of the world’s first methane-fuelled orbital launch vehicles to reach orbit. Methane propulsion is considered cleaner than traditional kerosene fuels and is compatible with reusability strategies. LandSpace aims to reduce launch costs and material intensity while supporting satellite deployment for communications, Earth observation, and scientific applications. The company operates within China’s growing commercial space ecosystem, which is increasingly supported by industrial and capital market policies.
