The Kuaizhou-1A and Kuaizhou-11 rockets have been grounded since failures in September 2020 and July 2020 respectively.
China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation launched four times in 2020, including the failed debut launch of the Kuaizhou-11 and the loss of a Kuaizhou-1A rocket in September 2020.
On 2020-09-12 a Kuaizhou-1A rocket and a commercial remote sensing satellite were lost.
On 2020-09-12, a Kuaizhou-1A rocket and a commercial remote sensing satellite were lost.
Two further Kuaizhou-1A launches planned for 2020-09-17 and 2020-09-22 were brought into question by the launch anomaly.
The Kuaizhou-11 is a larger version of the Kuaizhou-1A solid rocket operated by Expace.
Expace operates the Kuaizhou-11 and operates the smaller Kuaizhou-1A for commercial launches.
Expace launched a pair of 93-kilogram Xingyun-2 (01, 02) satellites into 557 x 573-kilometer orbits from Jiuquan on a Kuaizhou-1A rocket.
Expace will launch the Xingyun-2 (01, 02) satellites on a Kuaizhou-1A solid rocket from Jiuquan before the end of the month.
Expace was established in 2016 and operates the Kuaizhou-1A launch vehicle.
The KZ-1A had launched eight times since its inaugural mission in 2017 and six times since August.
The KZ-1A is capable of delivering a 200-kilogram payload into a 700-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit.
A Chinese commercial Kuaizhou-1A rocket was sold for $5,600,000 in a live-streamed auction hosted by e-commerce platform Taobao.
The next Kuaizhou-1A mission is expected to launch a pair of Xingyun satellites from the Jiuquan launch site.
The Kuaizhou-1A is capable of delivering a 200-kilogram payload into a 700-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit.
Kuaizhou-1A has launched eight times since its inaugural mission in 2017 and six times since August.
A Kuaizhou-1A will launch a 0.005 kg technology verification satellite for Galaxy Space from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on 2020-01-11.
China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation plans to carry out at least eight launches of its solid-fuelled Kuaizhou-1A in 2020.
Two Kuaizhou-1A launches from Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center placed seven satellites into orbit and demonstrated rapid reaction launch capabilities.
The first Kuaizhou-1A launch deployed the Jilin-1 Gaofen-02B high-resolution optical remote sensing satellite for Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co. Ltd.
