what happened

LandSpace's Zhuque-2E Y7 carrier rocket lifted off from the Dongfeng commercial space innovation pilot zone in northwest China at 2:26 p.m. Beijing time on September 15, deploying 10 low Earth orbit communication satellites into their preset orbits, per CGTN. The satellites, carrying Ku-, Q- and V-band payloads, join Shanghai Spacesail Technology's G60/Qianfan constellation, per Launch Library 2; the mission was declared a complete success.

why it matters

The launch is routine cadence for Qianfan's build-out toward its planned 1,296-satellite first phase, one of several Chinese constellations racing to scale alongside Starlink; each batch narrows the gap and keeps launch demand flowing to LandSpace's methalox vehicle line.
