Long March 6

The payload capacity of the Long March 6A is 8,000 kilograms to low Earth orbit and 4,500 kilograms to a 700-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit.

The combined thrust of the first stage and boosters of the Long March 6A is 736 tons.

The first stage of the Long March 6A is powered by two YF-100 engines generating approximately 244 tons of thrust.

The Long March 6A was carrying satellites for the Guowang LEO megaconstellation.

Today's launch was the 19th mission for the Long March 6A.

A Long March 6A launch is scheduled to occur in about an hour.

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 6A at Taiyuan on December 8.

Two different satellite variants are used for the GuoWang constellation, with larger ones launched on Long March 5B and smaller ones launched on Long March 6A or Long March 8A.

The Long March 6A is a medium-lift rocket with a 50-meter liquid-fueled core stage and four solid boosters.

The Long March 6A is powered by two 120-ton-thrust engines using liquid oxygen and kerosene propellant.

The Long March 6A launch vehicle is developed by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology.

The core of the Long March 6A has a diameter of 3.35 meters.

The satellites were launched aboard a Long March 6A rocket at 3:08 pm.

The Long March 6A weighs 530 metric tons at liftoff and can transport payloads into sun-synchronous, low-Earth, and intermediate circular orbits.

Long March-6A and -8A rockets have begun to fill launch gaps in the Chinese space sector.

Long March 6A leads the newer generation with 18 launches.

On October 17th, a Long March 6A launched from Launch Complex 9A at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center.
