Yang Yiqiang is a Chinese space industry leader who founded CAS Space, a company focused on rocket development and space launch services, in December 2018. Before that he served as chief commander of the Long March 11 rocket project, where he introduced a launch service model offering dedicated and rideshare services together with a customer loyalty points system that depended on the payload capacity purchased. He later left the national space program because, in his account, technology had progressed far enough and market demand had created the conditions for commercial space companies. As founder and chairman of CAS Space, based in the Nansha district of Guangzhou, he oversees the Kinetica launch vehicles, and he argues that recovering and reflying at least sixty-five percent of a rocket's value is necessary to make launch economically viable.
