China's Lijian-1 Y6 carrier rocket completes final assembly test
BEIJING -- China's Lijian-1 Y6 carrier rocket has completed its final assembly test as scheduled in Guangzhou, South China's Guangdong province, according to the rocket's developer CAS Space. The rocket used a self-developed initiator for the first time during the test, along with other products that effectively reduced operating costs and shortened the production cycle, said CAS Space. As the main rockets used in China's commercial space industry, the Lijian-1 series offers a high success rate, considerable reliability and cost-effective performance. Notably, the Central Economic Work Conference in December 2023 listed the commercial space industry as a strategic emerging industry, and the term was also applied to this industry in the 2024 government work report delivered at this year's "two sessions", which are the annual sessions of China's top legislature and political advisory body.
