Kuaizhou-11

Overview

Larger solid-propellant launch vehicle with a 2.2 m diameter and 2.2–2.6 m fairing, offering roughly one tonne to a 700 km sun-synchronous orbit for quick-response constellation launches.

Maiden flight failed in July 2020; returned to flight in December 2022 and reached its fifth flight in March 2026. Its sixth flight, on June 18, 2026, successfully placed the CentiSpace-1 Group 05 satellites in orbit (Xinhua-confirmed after initial silence) — the vehicle's fifth straight success since the 2020 maiden failure.
