About
Based in Beijing, China, and founded in 2025, Beijing Welight Technology Co. , Ltd. , trading under the name Welight, provides commercial launch vehicles for the aerospace sector. The company was founded by Gao Huan, a former rocket assembly expert at the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology.
In July 2026, the firm closed an angel++ funding round. The company works with the aerospace industry to provide the Welight 1 medium liquid launch vehicle. The rocket utilizes carbon fiber composite materials, full flow staged combustion cycle engines, and liquid oxygen methane propellants to reduce structural weight and production costs. The company also develops the Huaguang 1 engine to support frequent reusable rocket launches.
The company generates revenue by providing commercial satellite launch services and deploying payloads into orbit for global aerospace clients. The company plans to use the latest funding to accelerate the research and development of its carbon fiber rockets, build an operations headquarter in Beijing, establish a power division in Hunan province, and set up a manufacturing base in Shandong province, targeting a maiden flight in 2028 and routine recovery operations by 2030.
