Both lunar terrain vehicle contracts fall under NASA’s Artemis campaign.

NASA integrated Katalyst Space’s LINK robotic servicing spacecraft on a Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket at NASA Wallops.

LINK is scheduled to launch from Kwajalein Atoll by the end of June.

LINK will rendezvous with the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory and attempt an orbital boost to raise Swift’s orbit.

NASA says Swift must remain at least 300 kilometers above Earth to increase the chances of a successful orbital boost.

NASA’s LINK spacecraft has undergone environmental testing at NASA Goddard and uses three ion thrusters, about 60 kilograms of xenon, and solar panels about 6 meters long each.

Meticulous Research estimates the global in-orbit servicing market at $2.4 billion in 2026 and $9.8 billion by 2036, with a 15.1% CAGR.

The Long March 5 uses liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen in its first and second stages and rocket-grade kerosene and liquid oxygen in its four boosters.

The Long March 5’s 18.5-meter-long fairing was used for the fifth time on this mission.

The Long March 5 is China’s largest and most capable launch vehicle currently in service.

The Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology provides the Long March 5’s four boosters and has optimized their handling and storage.

The launch vehicle carried China Academy of Space Technology-built TJSW-25, also known as Communication Technology Experimental Satellite-25.

TJSW-25 was the second satellite in its line to launch in 2026, following TJSW-24 by a few weeks.

The China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology reduced Long March 5 pad testing time from six days to four days.

The Long March 5 stands up to 63.2 meters tall on the launch pad and weighs around 851,800 kilograms fully fueled.

The Long March 5’s longer fairing first flew on Yaogan-41 in December 2023.

The Long March 5 has flown only from the Wenchang Space Launch Site on Hainan’s east coast.

The Long March 5 was developed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, with boosters provided by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology.

A Long March 5 launched from Launch Complex 101 at the Wenchang Space Launch Site on June 11 at 15:30 China Standard Time, carrying a single satellite to geostationary space.

The Long March 5 can deliver 5,100 kilograms to geostationary orbit.

The June 11 launch was the 650th launch of the Long March launch vehicle series and the 39th launch from China in 2026.

The June 11 launch was the 11th mission for the Long March 5 and the 18th launch for the Long March 5 series.
