Long March 6
updated 17 hours ago
Chinese kerosene small-to-medium-lift orbital rocket
China's first rocket to run on kerosene and liquid oxygen. Long March 6 debuted in September 2015 by putting 20 small satellites into orbit at once, and its larger 6A version, with solid boosters, has launched batches of Qianfan and Guowang internet satellites since 2024.
We track every Long March 6 launch.
