中信建投研报认为，12月3日，蓝箭航天朱雀三号遥一火箭成功入轨，成为我国首个实现轨道飞行的可 重复使用液氧甲烷运载火箭，标志着中国商业航天在复用技术上取得关键突破。尽管一级回收因异常燃 烧未实现软着陆，但完整验证了测试、发射与飞行全流程。运载火箭是目前我国商业航天产业的核心瓶 颈，朱雀三号实现成功入轨，标志着我国两大星座组网新增一个较低成本的选择，产业迎来重大拐点。 后续天龙三号、力箭二号、长十二系列、智神星一号等火箭还将陆续首飞，并开展回收试验，有望进一 步打通产业瓶颈环节，带动卫星星座建设加速，进而带来应用端爆发，全产业链逻辑都将理顺。 ...

Investment Rating - The report maintains a rating of "Outperform the Market" for the defense and military industry [4]. Core Insights - On December 3, the Zhuque-3 rocket successfully entered orbit, marking a significant breakthrough in China's commercial aerospace sector with its reusable liquid oxygen-methane launch vehicle technology. Although the first stage recovery did not achieve a soft landing due to abnormal combustion, the entire testing, launch, and flight process was validated, providing valuable engineering data [1][2][10]. - The Zhuque-3 rocket has a near-Earth orbit capacity of 18 tons and a reuse potential of over 20 times, specifically designed for large satellite constellations like Qianfan. By 2025, China's commercial aerospace is expected to enter a phase of large-scale deployment, with over a hundred satellites in orbit for both GW and Qianfan constellations [2][12]. - The successful launch of Zhuque-3 is anticipated to lead to a new phase of high-frequency launches starting in 2026, creating investment opportunities in the low Earth orbit satellite internet and rocket launch industry [2][12]. Summary by Sections Industry Overview - The Zhuque-3 rocket represents China's first reusable launch vehicle to achieve orbital flight, and it is the third reusable rocket globally, following SpaceX's Falcon series and Blue Origin's New Glenn [10][11]. - The rocket's design includes a two-stage configuration with a diameter of 4.5 meters and a total length of 66.1 meters, capable of vertical return and recovery after launch [11]. Market Dynamics - The report highlights the importance of the Zhuque-3's success in addressing the current bottlenecks in China's commercial aerospace industry, particularly in satellite constellation deployment and cost-effective launch options [10][12]. - The establishment of a dedicated Commercial Aerospace Department by the National Space Administration is expected to enhance regulatory efficiency and support the high-quality development of the commercial aerospace sector [12][13]. Investment Opportunities - The report suggests focusing on upstream and midstream segments of the satellite industry and rocket launch supply chain, including satellite manufacturing, components, and ground equipment [3][12]. - Key companies to watch include aerospace electronics firms, component manufacturers, and those involved in 3D printing and composite materials [3].

Core Insights - The Zhuque-3 reusable launch vehicle developed by Blue Arrow Aerospace successfully completed its first orbital launch at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center after two delays, marking a significant milestone in China's commercial space industry [2][3][5] Launch Outcome - The secondary stage of the rocket successfully delivered a simulated payload to the designated orbit, indicating the main mission's success [3][5] - However, the first stage's vertical recovery attempt failed due to an engine malfunction that caused an explosion during the final landing phase, resulting in the rocket's crash near the intended landing site [3][5] Technical Specifications - Zhuque-3 is the world's first liquid oxygen-methane rocket with a fully stainless steel body, designed to carry a payload of 21.3 tons to low Earth orbit, aiming to significantly reduce launch costs [3][5] Industry Implications - Although the launch did not achieve a "perfect recovery," the successful orbital insertion represents a crucial step towards the reusable era in China's commercial space sector, providing valuable data for future technological iterations [3][5]
