China launches 4 different rockets to orbit in 45 hours (video)

Key Points:

• Over a 45-hour period from September 15-16, China successfully launched four different orbital rockets from three separate sites, showcasing the growing diversity and capability of its launch sector.
• Two of the rockets were private vehicles: LandSpace's Zhuque-2E launched 10 satellites for the Qianfan broadband megaconstellation, and Orienspace's Gravity-1, the world's most powerful solid rocket, launched nine additional Qianfan satellites from a barge near Shanghai.
• The state-owned China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) launched a Long March 12 rocket carrying nine satellites for the SatNet broadband megaconstellation, planned to include about 13,000 satellites.
• A Kuaizhou-11 rocket, operated by a subsidiary of the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, launched two Earth-observing radar satellites for Spacety from Jiuquan.
• Despite the successful missions, none of the four rockets attempted a landing, indicating that reusable rocket technology is not yet part of these recent Chinese launches.
