en.Wedoany.com Reported - At 14:34 on June 5, the Long March 8 carrier rocket ignited and lifted off from the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site, subsequently successfully delivering the Qianfan Polar Orbit 12 satellite group into the predetermined orbit, marking a complete success for the launch mission.

The Long March 8 rocket is developed under the leadership of the First Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) and is a two-and-a-half-stage liquid carrier rocket independently developed by China. As a member of the Long March 8 series, this rocket, together with the Long March 8A rocket, forms a payload capacity echelon of 5 tons and 7 tons for sun-synchronous orbit, effectively enhancing China's capability for launching medium and low orbit satellite constellations.

This year, the Long March 8 rocket has entered a high-density launch mode. This mission is the third launch of this rocket type this year, occurring only 18 days after the previous launch. The rocket team, employing methods such as pulsating production and parallel dual-rocket operations, has steadily advanced various testing and launch tasks efficiently and orderly with a rigorous, meticulous, and pragmatic work style, ensuring the success of the launch mission.

Launch services for the Qianfan Polar Orbit 12 satellite group were provided by China Commercial Rocket Company, a subsidiary of CASC, acting as the general contractor.

This launch marks the 649th flight of the Long March series carrier rockets.
