Space Pioneer
Space Pioneer (Beijing Tianbing Technology Co., Ltd.), established in 2019, is a Chinese aerospace company focused on developing reusable liquid-propellant launch vehicles and rocket engines to deliver low-cost space access. The company achieved a milestone with the Tianlong-2 rocket’s successful orbital launch in 2023, marking the first time a private Chinese firm reached orbit on its maiden attempt. Space Pioneer now advances higher-performance, potentially reusable launchers designed for large commercial satellite markets.
