The previous national record was set just eight days ago by a ZK 1A rocket, which sent 26 satellites into orbit. The ZK 1A was developed by CAS Space, a company headquartered in Beijing.

The world record is held by SpaceX's Falcon 9, which lifted 143 satellites in January 2021. SpaceX is based in California.
