According to IT Home, CAS Space’s Li Jian-1 rocket’s full-assembly cycle has been shortened from about 3 months to around 15 days, allowing for near-monthly launches as the vehicle enters a high-volume, routine phase. The Nansha final assembly plant has an annual capacity of 30 launches, and parallelized assembly at multiple workstations has boosted total assembly efficiency. The production approach is shifting from task-based to pre-production, enabling a cycle from order to launch of under six months.
