Hongqing Technology · Landspace
A satellite-manufacturing affiliate of launch company Landspace raised over 1.3 billion yuan from state-linked banks and investment funds.
what happened
Per SpaceNews (Andrew Jones), Hongqing Technology, a satellite-manufacturing affiliate of Chinese launch company Landspace, announced on July 2, 2026 that it raised over 1.3 billion yuan, about $191 million, from investors including China Construction Bank and ICBC investment arms, Jinpu Capital, Bank of China, Bank of Communications, Agricultural Bank, CITIC-linked vehicles, and several regional state funds. The outlet described it as one of the largest single raises for a Chinese commercial satellite maker; Hongqing provides full-chain manufacturing services, including flat-panel stackable satellites, for LEO constellation projects.
why it matters
The lineup of state-owned banks and municipal funds behind this round shows Chinese industrial policy still treating satellite manufacturing capacity, not just launch, as a strategic priority worth large state-linked financing, at a scale Western satellite manufacturers rarely see from private capital alone.
