The Kinetica-1 hardware used for the July 24 launch passed acceptance review and was sent to Jiuquan two days after the vehicle's previous flight on June 15.

Kinetica-1 stands 30 meters tall on the launch pad and has a first-stage and second-stage diameter of 2.65 meters.

Kinetica-1 can deliver 2,000 kilograms to low Earth orbit and 1,500 kilograms to a 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit.

Kinetica-1 has launched all of its missions from CAS Space's launch facility at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

CAS Space's factory in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, is accelerating production of the Kinetica-1 launch vehicle.

Kinetica-1 is CAS Space's first launch vehicle and has four solid-fueled stages.

CGSTL launched the first set of satellites with that hardware in April on a dedicated Kinetica-1 mission.
