Post-Launch Analysis: Long March 6A | SatNet LEO Group 15 (December 08, 2025)

The Long March 6A mission, launched on December 08, 2025, achieved a flawless execution, marking another milestone for China’s ambitious SatNet constellation. The rocket’s ascent profile and stage separation were nominal, with precise orbital insertion of five Low Earth Orbit (LEO) communication satellites for the China Satellite Network Group. Telemetry data confirms all payloads were deployed into their intended 500-600 km orbits, with initial health checks indicating full functionality.

Technically, the mission validates the Long March 6A’s reliability for multi-payload LEO deployments, showcasing robust avionics and propulsion systems. Engineering lessons from prior launches appear well-integrated, particularly in payload fairing dynamics and upper-stage accuracy. Strategically, this success advances SatNet’s goal of a 13,000-satellite mega-constellation, reinforcing China’s dominance in global satellite internet infrastructure. This mission solidifies the Long March 6A as a cornerstone for future high-frequency launches.
