Share-ride of 9 commercial Earth observation and technology demonstration satellites to SSO, details TBD. Lifts off from Launch Area 130, Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, People's Republic of China to Sun-Synchronous Orbit.
CAS Space's Kinetica 1 launched 9 satellites from Launch Area 130 at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, China, with T-0 at 2026-09-20T04:03:00Z (precision "Minute") inside a window running 03:54Z to 04:15Z - the window close, not the flight's end, being the pin's end time[1]
The launch is recorded as "Launch Successful": "The launch vehicle successfully inserted its payload(s) into the target orbit(s)", with an update at 2026-09-20T04:31Z reading simply "Launch success."[1]
The mission, typed "Earth Science" and bound for Sun-Synchronous Orbit, is described as a "share-ride of 9 commercial Earth observation and technology demonstration satellites to SSO, details TBD", exactly as the pin has it[1]
The record was added only on 2026-09-16 "per NOTAMs", with the note "Payload and launch vehicle identities uncertain", and it carries no webcast, video, info URLs, timeline or mission patches[1]
Kinetica 1, also known as Lijian-1, is a Chinese four-stage solid-propellant light launcher, 30 m tall, 2.65 m in diameter, 135 t at liftoff, with a 3.35 m fairing, capable of about 2 t to low Earth orbit and 1.5 t to SSO; its first stage "seems to be derived from the DF-31 long-range intercontinental ballistic missile" and it is the largest Chinese solid propellant launcher to date[1]
CAS Space, founded 2018, is "a spin-off company from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)" operating the Zhongke series; counting this flight it has 17 launches, 16 successful, 1 failed and 11 consecutive successes, while the Kinetica 1 configuration stands at 16 launches, 15 successful and 10 consecutive successes since its maiden flight on 2022-07-27[1]
The flight is logged as orbital launch attempt 7401 overall and the 228th of the year, the 16th from this pad and the 298th from Jiuquan[1]

14th test flight of the two-stage Starship launch vehicle. 3rd flight of Starship V3 and the first Starship flight to deploy satellites (a group of Starlink satellites known as Starlink Group 31-1) into stable Low Earth Orbit.
The ship is expected to fly at an altitude approximately 275 km above Earth and complete approximately 6 orbits around the planet for nearly 10 hours, with splashdown targeted in the Pacific Ocean west of Chile.
The booster’s primary test objective on Flight 14 will be executing a successful launch, ascent, stage separation, boostback burn, and landing burn at an offshore landing point in the Gulf.
Starship will deliver 26 Starlink V3 satellites to orbit for the first time, which aim to greatly expand the network's capacity and user speeds. Each Starlink V3 satellite will add 1 Tbps of capacity to the constellation. Lifts off from Orbital Launch Pad 2, SpaceX Starbase, TX, USA to Low Earth Orbit. The booster is due to land at Gulf of Mexico.
