On January 7, Sepoch initiated construction of a large-scale liquid-fueled rocket assembly, testing, and reuse base in Qiantang district, Hangzhou. This facility, with an investment of 5.2 billion yuan ($744.87 million), is China's first dedicated to sea-recovered, reusable rockets and will produce up to 25 stainless-steel, methane-liquid oxygen rockets annually.
At the groundbreaking, Sepoch signed a payload cooperation agreement with Star Vision to enable locally built rockets to launch local satellites. The Qiantang rocket, which is 66 meters tall and has a liftoff mass of 575 metric tons, will be capable of delivering 14 tons to low-Earth orbit and is designed for up to 20 reuses, with projected launch costs below 20,000 yuan per kilogram. The first rocket is expected to be completed by the end of this year.
