ExPace’s Kuaizhou-11 launch vehicle launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on June 17 at 11:58 am China Standard Time.

ExPace has added a wider fairing option and optimized costs for Kuaizhou-11.

ExPace and Jiuquan confirmed the completion of a launch mission to deploy Future Navigation’s CentiSpace Group-05 satellite cluster.

ExPace resumed Kuaizhou-11 launches in May 2024 after the December 2022 flight.

Tracking data from the U.S. Space Force suggests that Kuaizhou-11 reached orbit, deployed eight satellites, and performed a deorbit burn.

Kuaizhou-11 consists of three 2.2-meter-diameter solid-fueled stages and a liquid-fueled fourth stage for orbital insertion.

The Kuaizhou-11 launch on June 17 likely deployed satellites for Future Navigation’s positioning service.

Kuaizhou-11 can carry 1,500 kilograms to low Earth orbit and 1,000 kilograms to sun-synchronous orbit.

ExPace’s Kuaizhou-11 has had one failure, which occurred during its July 2020 debut flight.

The June 17 mission was Future Navigation’s third CentiSpace Group-05 deployment.

Kuaizhou-11 has flown only from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

Kuaizhou-11 was developed by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation and manufactured by ExPace.

Emposat provided communications and tracking support for the June 17 Kuaizhou-11 deployment.

Kuaizhou-11 offers a 2.2-meter inline fairing and a wider 2.65-meter-diameter fairing option.

Kuaizhou-11 is 25 meters tall and weighs around 78,000 kilograms when prepared for launch.
