At 12:15 on July 10, 2026, the Long March 10B carrier rocket successfully lifted off from the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site, completing its satellite launch mission and achieving the sea-based net capture and recovery of its first stage. This mission marks China's first controlled recovery test of a carrier rocket's first stage and represents the world's first engineering practice of sea-based net recovery, signifying a milestone breakthrough in China's reusable rocket technology.

Behind this historic breakthrough lies the dedicated effort of countless research and testing units. Among them, Zhongding Hengsheng Gas Equipment (Wuhu) Co., Ltd. provided critical support to the launch site's helium and nitrogen supply systems with four diaphragm compressors, becoming an indispensable "invisible backbone" in this aerospace achievement.

Space launch is a systematic engineering feat involving thousands of people working as one, where the reliability of the ground gas supply system directly determines the success or failure of the mission. For this launch mission, the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site deployed four Zhongding Hengsheng diaphragm compressors to handle the critical task of helium and nitrogen pressurization and supply. High-purity helium and nitrogen are strategic media essential for space launches, used for tank pressurization, pipeline purging, and system safety protection. Leveraging their outstanding characteristics of zero oil contamination, high sealing performance, and stable operating conditions, diaphragm compressors strictly ensure that the quality of specialty gases consistently meets standards, providing stable support for rocket fuel filling and the safe operation of ground systems.

Following the successful conclusion of the mission, Hainan International Commercial Aerospace Launch Co., Ltd. sent a special letter of appreciation to Zhongding Hengsheng, highly recognizing the company's robust product capabilities and efficient collaborative support services.
From customizing 45 MPa helium diaphragm compressors for the Hainan launch site in the early years to fully supporting the Long March 10B launch and recovery mission today, Zhongding Hengsheng has always strengthened the foundational support for China's aerospace industry through the independent controllability of domestic high-end equipment.

The successful lift-off of every major national instrument relies on countless domestic forces like diaphragm compressors that silently withstand pressure and deliver stable output. On the journey to accelerate the construction of a space power and reach for the stars, such "hidden champions" are the source of our confidence for the future. In the future, Zhongding Hengsheng will continue to deepen the technological iteration of high-end diaphragm compressors, continuously improve the adaptability of equipment for special operating conditions, enhance collaboration with various parties in the aerospace field, and empower the development of commercial aerospace with hardcore domestic products, contributing equipment strength to the accelerated construction of a space power.
