At around 12:00 PM on April 14th, 2026, the "iNature" mission of Lijian-1 Y12 carrier rocket, developed by CAS Space, blasted off from the Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Pilot Zone. With one rocket, it accurately delivered eight satellites, including the Postal Savings Bank of China satellite, into their preset orbits, marking a complete success for the launch mission.

To date, all Lijian-1 carrier rockets have been manufactured in Nansha, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. The Lijian-1 series has successfully sent 92 satellites into space, with a combined payload mass exceeding 12 tonnes placed into orbit, firmly establishing itself as a key force in China's commercial launch sector.
This mission marked the 12th flight of the Lijian-1 carrier rocket. Targeting the small and micro-satellite launch market, Lijian-1 offers a range of launch services, including dedicated launches, rideshare launches and piggyback launch options, to meet diverse launch needs and provide global customers with cost-effective, high-quality launch solutions.

Among these, the dedicated launch service offers a fully customized whole-rocket solution, enabling mission parameters such as orbital parameters and launch windows to be tailored to the specific requirements of each satellite. With fast scheduling, rapid final assembly and quick launch turnaround, it can significantly shorten the time from contract signing to orbital space, with a combined payload mass exceeding 12 tonnes placed into orbit. With its mature and reliable multi-satellite deployment configuration and precise separation technology, Lijian-1 holds the national record among commercial carrier rockets for the most satellites launched in a single mission, at 26. Its strong launch record has further bolstered its market competitiveness and reinforced its position as a key force in China's commercial space launch sector.
