Long March 12

The Long March 12 is a two-stage launch vehicle with a payload capacity of 12,000 kilograms to low Earth orbit.

The Long March 12 launch occurred thirty-two days after the previous launch from the same pad.

The launch will utilize a Long March 12 rocket.

The Long March 12 is likely carrying the 16th group of Guowang satellites.

Smaller satellite variants are launched atop rockets such as Long March 8A or Long March 12.

The CZ-12 launch vehicle has been rolled out at Wenchang.

CZ-12 is being transported to Pad-2 of the Wenchang Space Launch Site.

The planned launch date for CZ-12 is December 12.

The CZ-12 is likely launching megaconstellation satellites.

Two variants of satellites are believed to be used for the GuoWang constellation, one larger version on Long March 5B vehicles and smaller ones on Long March 6A and Long March 12 rockets.

China will launch Long March 12 at Wenchang on December 11.

The Shanghai Academy operates both Long March 12 and Long March 12A vehicles under its three-rocket Long March 12 series.

Members of the Long March 12 series may be able to fly from both Wenchang and Jiuquan depending on customer needs.

Two of the Long March 12 vehicles have the same diameter of 4.37 meters.

The transporter-erector for the Long March 12A was tested in November and has a similar design to that used with the Long March 12 at the Wenchang Commercial Space Launch Site.

All three Long March 12 vehicles will have the same fairing options and two stages.

The pad for the Long March 12 series at Jiuquan's Dongfeng Commercial Aerospace Innovation Test Zone has been completed.

The CZ-12 rocket could be launched from JSLC, WSLC, and HYLC next year.
