The LM-8A rocket will likely carry SatNet LEO communication satellites.

PlanValue 3.0Jan 13, 2026So yeah, let's start with a will-be-mundane launch for today then, 1 of at least 8 (!) known to be aiming within the next 2 weeks. In what's going to be at least a monthly routine, a LM-8A w/ probably SatNet LEO comsats' launching from Wenchang today January 13 ~15:25 UTC.

The LM-8A is expected to launch Low Earth Orbit communications satellites known as SatNet.
