China has just sent a new satellite group into space from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in north China’s Shanxi Province. The satellite group was launched at 1:15 p.m. Beijing Time on January 23 aboard a modified Long March-6 carrier rocket and entered orbit successfully. The group consists of 18 commercial satellites, which is the sixth batch that will constitute the Spacesail Constellation.
Spacesail is a low-Earth orbit mega-constellation that aims to offer global satellite internet services, supporting sectors such as transportation, new energy, smart cities, smart agriculture, emergency disaster relief and the low-altitude economy. The constellation officially began commercial network construction on August 6, 2024.
The modified Long March-6 carrier rocket is a new generation of medium-sized launch vehicle that both uses solid and liquid propulsion. The rocket has a carrying capacity of no less than 4.5 tonnes to a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 700 kilometers.
