Shanghai Spacesail Technologies says Qianfan has completed the networking needed to begin supporting automatic identification systems for maritime vessel connectivity.

The China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology developed the Long March 8.

Each Qianfan satellite is believed to weigh 300 kilograms and use a flat-pack design with a single solar array.

The June 5 mission was the third time the China Aerospace Science and Technology Commercial Launch Vehicle Group procured a launch vehicle for Shanghai Spacesail Technologies’ constellation.

The Long March 8’s second stage uses two YF-75 engines that produce 17 tons of thrust.

The Long March 8 can carry 8,100 kilograms to low Earth orbit, 5,000 kilograms to a 700-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit, 2,800 kilograms to geostationary transfer orbit, and 1,500 kilograms to a trans-lunar trajectory.

Each Qianfan satellite uses an electric hall-effect thruster burning krypton to generate 20 millinewtons of thrust with a specific impulse of 1,385 seconds.

The June 5 Long March 8 launch carried eighteen Qianfan satellites into a polar orbit.

The eighteen satellites launched on June 5 were the twelfth overall group of the Qianfan constellation.

The Long March 8 uses a two-and-a-half-stage design and burns rocket-grade kerosene and liquid oxygen in its first stage and boosters, along with liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen in its second stage.

The June 5 launch brought Qianfan’s total launched satellite count to 200.

Qianfan aims to provide space-based internet connectivity services in China and abroad, including Brazil, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, Türkiye, and airline users.

The Long March 8 stands 50.34 meters tall and weighs 356,000 kilograms when fully fueled.

The Long March 8 has flown only from the Wenchang Space Launch Site and the Wenchang Commercial Space Launch Site on Hainan Island.

The Long March 8 uses YF-100 engines on its first stage and boosters, with two engines on the first stage and one on each booster.

The Long March 8’s first-stage and booster engines generate a combined 490 tons of thrust at liftoff.

The Innovation Academy for Microsatellites of the Chinese Academy of Sciences produced the eighteen Qianfan satellites launched on June 5.

Qianfan has approval to operate 15,000 satellites in total.

The Qianfan mega-constellation is operated by Shanghai Spacesail Technologies Co Ltd.

The China Aerospace Science and Technology Commercial Launch Vehicle Group managed the June 5 Qianfan launch on behalf of Shanghai Spacesail Technologies.

Qianfan’s deployment plan calls for 324 satellites launched in 2026, another 324 in 2027, 4,000 in 2028 and 2029, and 5,000 in 2030.
