Long March 12 lofts satellite-internet group 27

A Long March 12 lifted off at 03:27 Beijing time on Oct. 10 from the Hainan commercial space launch site and placed China's satellite-internet low-Earth-orbit group 27 into its planned orbit. CASC said its commercial rocket company was the launch prime contractor, that the 62-meter, 4-meter-class vehicle can lift at least 6 tonnes to a 700 km sun-synchronous orbit, and that the flight was the 671st Long March launch. CNSA separately confirmed the satellites reached the intended orbit.
