At 12:12 PM on May 14, 2025, a Long March 2D launch vehicle was successfully launched with a space computing satellite constellation from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, precisely delivering it into the destination orbit, signaling a complete success of the launch mission. The Long March 2D for this launch mission is a level 2 carrier rocket with liquid propellant of normal temperature developed by Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology.
During this season, the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center experiences extremely dry conditions, often accompanied by strong winds and blowing dust. Under the guidance of the chief designer and chief commander of the model team, the test team of Long March 2D proactively implemented anti-static measures and made every effort to mitigate the effects of the adverse weather on the equipment. Following the production assurance plan at the launch site, the team carefully scheduled the range transfer of the rocket airframe and satellite fairing assembly. All tasks at the launch site were completed in an orderly manner on time according to specifications, which ensured the success of the flight mission.

This launch was executed on a tight schedule, with only five months from task assignment to launch. During the development process, the model team accurately broke down the tasks, allocated resources efficiently, and optimized the workflow. On the basis of adaptive modifications to the existing rocket airframe, the team successfully accelerated the processes of final assembly and integrated testing, which fully demonstrated their ability to deliver the rocket on “short, fast, and efficient” timelines, as well as their determined, capable, and victory-oriented fighting spirit.
For the first time, this mission adopted a payload configuration of two primary satellites mounted on top and ten secondary satellites mounted laterally. During the satellite and launch vehicle docking process at the launch site, the team faced the challenge of limited space and a high number of satellites. Upholding a cautious attitude, the team members carefully verified each step and every record, ensuring the smooth completion of multi-satellite docking with 100% focus.
This launch mission is the 98th launch of the Long March 2D launch vehicle, the 235th launch of the Long March series of launch vehicles developed by Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology, and the 576th launch of the Long March series of launch vehicles.
