Pakistan has launched Earth observation satellites built in cooperation with China over the last 15 months on Long March 2D, Kuaizhou 1A, Kinetica 1, Smart Dragon 3, and Long March 6 launch vehicles.

PlanRelationshipsValue 4.5Apr 25, 2026Pakistan now has launched EO satellites built in cooperation with China over the last 15 months on a Long March 2D, a Kuaizhou 1A, a Kinetica 1, a Smart Dragon 3 & now a Long March 6. Are they collecting rockets? /s (seriously it probably means all sats are of different models)

Kinetica-1 Y13 is being prepared to launch 5 satellites.

PlanCapabilityValue 3.0Apr 16, 2026Kinetica-1 Y13 getting ready for a launch of 5 satellites.

Kinetica-1’s first stage generates 200 tons of thrust.

CapabilityValue 4.6Apr 14, 2026CGSTL Deploys Eight Imaging Satellite With Non-Earth Target Capabilites [Kinetica-1 Y12]

Kinetica-1 has a first-stage and second-stage diameter of 2.65 meters.

CapabilityValue 4.5Apr 14, 2026CGSTL Deploys Eight Imaging Satellite With Non-Earth Target Capabilites [Kinetica-1 Y12]

Kinetica-1 can launch 1,500 kilograms to a 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit.

Kinetica-1 has a believed launch mass of 135,000 kilograms.

CapabilityValue 3.4Apr 14, 2026CGSTL Deploys Eight Imaging Satellite With Non-Earth Target Capabilites [Kinetica-1 Y12]

Kinetica-1 is producing 10 flights per year using pulse-line manufacturing.

GrowthCapabilityValue 4.0Apr 14, 2026??? I guess this is a sponsor deal rather than a bank (at least this is a big Chinese one) getting their own (Earth observation ones of Jilin-1 from Changguang Satellite I guess since it’s their big logo on the fairing) LOL.

CAS Space’s Kinetica 1 launched 8 satellites to sun-synchronous orbit at 04:03 UTC.

PlanCapabilityGrowthValue 4.0Apr 14, 2026And this @cas_space Kinetica 1 successfully launched 8 satellites to SSO (including indeed at least 1 from the Jilin-1 EO sat constellation, HR-07A-02) at 04:03 UTC. Not bad for only your 12th & 13th launch campaigns within 15 days of each other & w/ one being a 1st launch!

Kinetica-1’s third stage generates 45 tons of thrust.

CapabilityValue 4.0Apr 14, 2026CGSTL Deploys Eight Imaging Satellite With Non-Earth Target Capabilites [Kinetica-1 Y12]

Kinetica-1’s second stage generates 110 tons of thrust.

Kinetica-1’s fourth stage generates 8 tons of thrust.

CapabilityValue 4.0Apr 14, 2026CGSTL Deploys Eight Imaging Satellite With Non-Earth Target Capabilites [Kinetica-1 Y12]

Kinetica-1 is CAS Space’s first launch vehicle.

CapabilityValue 3.0Apr 14, 2026CGSTL Deploys Eight Imaging Satellite With Non-Earth Target Capabilites [Kinetica-1 Y12]

Kinetica-1 can launch 2,000 kilograms to low Earth orbit.

CapabilityValue 4.5Apr 14, 2026CGSTL Deploys Eight Imaging Satellite With Non-Earth Target Capabilites [Kinetica-1 Y12]

All of Kinetica-1’s missions have launched from CAS Space’s facility at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

CapabilityGeneralValue 3.0Apr 14, 2026CGSTL Deploys Eight Imaging Satellite With Non-Earth Target Capabilites [Kinetica-1 Y12]

At least one of the satellites launched by CAS Space’s Kinetica 1 was HR-07A-02 from the Jilin-1 Earth observation constellation.

CapabilityGeneralValue 4.0Apr 14, 2026And this @cas_space Kinetica 1 successfully launched 8 satellites to SSO (including indeed at least 1 from the Jilin-1 EO sat constellation, HR-07A-02) at 04:03 UTC. Not bad for only your 12th & 13th launch campaigns within 15 days of each other & w/ one being a 1st launch!

Twelve Kinetica-1 flights have delivered a total of 92 satellites into orbit.

GeneralCapabilityValue 4.0Apr 14, 2026Official confirmation:

Kinetica-1 manufacturing is divided into several key nodes that operate in parallel to improve efficiency and quality control.

CapabilityValue 2.0Apr 14, 2026??? I guess this is a sponsor deal rather than a bank (at least this is a big Chinese one) getting their own (Earth observation ones of Jilin-1 from Changguang Satellite I guess since it’s their big logo on the fairing) LOL.
