About the 10 satellites Mission
| Type | Technology |
|---|---|
| Orbit | Sun-Synchronous Orbit |
Ride-share of 10 satellites to sun-synchronous orbit, including LandSpace's own Guangchuan-03 & 04 for testing and demonstrating LEO communication satellite constellation technologies. Details TBD.
Launch Pad & Location
Launch Area 96A
Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, People's Republic of China
| Launches | 10 |

LandSpace Zhuque-2E Block 2 Rocket
Zhuque-2E (E stands for “enhanced”) is a medium-sized rocket powered by liquid oxygen and methane capable of lifting 6,000 kg of payload into a 200 km low Earth orbit, or 4,000 kg of payload into a 500 km Sun-synchronous orbit. It differs from the baseline Zhuque-2 in using enhanced TQ-12A engines on the 1st stage with higher thrust and specific impulse than the original TQ-12, and a new TQ-15A engine on the 2nd stage that has a moveable nozzle.
The Block 2 variant lengthens the 1st stage with more propellant load and a lighter structure, plus engines with still more increased thrust to reach the capabilities listed above.
