Long March 12 Y17 launched at 02:44 UTC on June 17 from Hainan with SatNet LEO Group 22.
A countdown screen showed 01:42:05 remaining before the Long March 12 upgraded model launch.
Long March 12 Y17 launched from Hainan at 02:44 UTC on June 17, 2026.
The Long March 12 upgraded model was scheduled to launch imminently on June 17, 2026.
The fully fueled Long March 12 is believed to weigh 433,000 kilograms.
Long March 12 Y17 carried SatNet LEO Group 22.
The June 17 mission was the sixth launch of a Long March 12 vehicle.
The payload on the June 17 Long March 12 mission was the twenty-second GuoWang constellation group and consisted of nine satellites.
GuoWang satellites launched on the Long March 12 and Long March 8A use a small satellite platform weighing about 695 kilograms each.
The Long March 12 (CZ-12) was being moved to the pad at Wenchang on June 13, 2026.
A CZ-12 launch was scheduled for June 16, 2026 according to a NOTAM.
The Long March 12 is an expendable launch vehicle that burns rocket-grade kerosene and liquid oxygen.
A NOTAM indicated that the Long March 12 at Wenchang was scheduled to launch on June 16, 2026.
A CZ-12 rocket was being moved to the pad at Wenchang on June 13, 2026.
The June 1 flight was the seventh launch of the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology-supported Long March 12 series.
The Long March 12 has been focused on GuoWang launches since August 2025.
A schedule image lists a June 17 launch of Long March 12.
Shanghai facilities could potentially support the Ceres-1S, Gravity-1, Jielong-3, and Long March 12 launch vehicles.
CZ-12 and early Falcon 9 are described as two-stage medium-lift rockets similar to Soyuz-5 in overall class.
GuoWang spacecraft launched on the Long March 8A and Long March 12 use a smaller satellite platform of about 695 kilograms.
