Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Landspace is a Chinese launch company (STAR Market IPO application accepted late 2025 for a ~$1.05B offering, the furthest-along Chinese space IPO) whose Zhuque-2 was the world's first methalox rocket to orbit (2023) and whose stainless Zhuque-3 achieved orbit and, on its second flight in August 2026, landed its first-stage booster vertically in Gansu, the first ground recovery of an orbital-class booster by a Chinese private company. It targets reuse of a flown stage in Q4-26 and a 20-vehicles-a-year buildout, with a price roadmap falling from ~$76M toward ~$7.6M per flight, making it China's reuse leader and IPO test case. Revenue is estimated at 10-100m.

United Launch Alliance provides orbital launch services on Atlas V and Vulcan rockets for U.S. national-security, NASA, commercial and satellite-constellation customers.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
United Launch Alliance (a Boeing-Lockheed JV) is targeting 18-22 launches in 2026 (versus 6 in 2025, a chronic cadence shortfall) as it ramps its NSSL-certified Vulcan alongside remaining Atlas 5 flights, with ~6 Vulcans in storage and doubled Cape processing capacity. It is structurally sold out for years on a 26-mission NSSL slate, 38 Vulcan launches for Amazon Leo (the largest commercial launch agreement), and Starliner and ViaSat-3 missions, but squeezed between SpaceX economics and Blue Origin ambitions. The current revenue figure is dated (~$1.3-1.5B class, no filing).
