Rocket launches: Throughout 2025, a total of 323 space launches were carried out around the world, with 4,508 spacecrafts put into orbit, including 92 from China and 377 spacecrafts into orbit, and 193 from the United States and 4,024 spacecrafts into orbit. In December 2025, a total of 40 space launches were carried out around the world, and 482 spacecraft of various types were launched into orbit. Among them, China launched 16 times and put 53 spacecraft into orbit, and the United States launched 17 times and put 372 spacecraft into orbit. 2. Constellation networking progress: Throughout 2025, my country has completed a total of 19 constellation networking missions, including 16 for the GW constellation, with 136 currently in orbit, and 3 for the Thousand Sail constellation, with 108 currently in orbit; the United States has completed a total of 129 missions, including 122 for the Starlink project, with approximately 9,400 satellites currently in orbit, and 7 for Amazon Leo, with 180 currently in orbit. In December 2025, my country sent 14-17 groups of satellite Internet low-orbit satellites into predetermined orbits through 4 launches; SpaceX sent 338 Starlink satellites into predetermined orbits through 12 launches; Amazon sent 27 Amazon Leo satellites into predetermined orbits through 1 launch. 3. Investment and Financing Trends: According to incomplete statistics, a total of 16 financings were conducted in the domestic and foreign commercial aerospace field in December 2025, with a total financing amount of more than 2.3 billion yuan. 4. Major events: In December 2025, my country\u2019s reusable rockets will usher in a major breakthrough. 1) In terms of rockets, Zhuque-3 and Changjia carried out their first flights respectively. Although the first-stage recovery attempt failed, the second-stages successfully entered orbit, accumulating valuable data for subsequent recovery tests; the Miranda engine of the Eclipse medium-sized launch vehicle jointly developed by Firefly Aerospace and Northrop Grumman completed 100 hot fire tests. 2) In terms of constellation networking, GW constellations are densely networked, SpaceX Starlink continues to be deployed at high frequency, and Amazon Leo also completed its first networking after the name change. 3) In terms of technology, the Hyperbolic 3 reusable rocket has completed multiple key tests; China Aerospace has successfully completed the 110-ton long-range test run of the liquid oxygen kerosene engine Liqing 2; the AS-1 liquid launch vehicle YE has successfully completed the static ignition of the second stage. 4) In terms of supporting construction, Aerospace Science and Technology\u2019s first self-built commercial research and test launch station was officially completed in the Jiuquan Dongfeng Commercial Aerospace Innovation Test Zone; the Interstellar Glory Hyperbolic III rocket full-arrow transport vehicle was successfully commissioned at Hainan Commercial Development.
