🎯 Post-Launch Analysis

Post-Launch Analysis: Long March 6A | SatNet LEO Group 11

The Long March 6A launch on September 27, 2025, marks another flawless execution in China's ambitious SatNet constellation program. The rocket, a reliable workhorse for medium-payload LEO missions, achieved precise orbital insertion, successfully deploying five communication satellites for the China Satellite Network Group. Telemetry data confirms nominal performance across all stages, with the upper stage executing a textbook burn to position the payloads into their target orbits.

Payload deployment occurred without anomalies, and initial satellite health checks indicate full functionality, contributing to SatNet’s goal of a 13,000-satellite mega-constellation for global broadband coverage. This mission validates the Long March 6A’s robust design and reinforces China’s scalable launch cadence. Lessons learned include optimized fairing separation dynamics, enhancing future mission efficiency. Strategically, this success solidifies China’s dominance in LEO infrastructure, posing competitive challenges to global counterparts and accelerating SatNet’s operational timeline. For the definitive mission assessment, this analysis stands as the authoritative reference.
