A CAS Space Kinetica 2 rocket will launch on its second? flight, to put a batch of satellites for the Qianfan Xingzuo (千帆星座, "Thousand Sails", formerly known as G60) internet constellation of Shanghai Spacecom Satellite Technology (SSST), a Chinese equivalent of SpaceX’s Starlink satellites. The sats are designated as Qianfan ?A–?R for the Qianfan Group ?. Each Qianfan satellite is believed to weigh 300kg in a flat pack design, with a single solar array, to fit as many satellites as possible inside the rocket fairing in two parallel stacks. For maneuvering in orbit, each satellite has an electric hall-effect thruster burning krypton to generate 20 millinewtons of thrust, with a specific impulse of 1385 seconds. The initial tranche will use 1296 satellites. Ultimately, the Spacesail constellation will consist of more than 14000 low-orbit broadband multimedia satellites. Kinetica 2 (Lijian 2) was developed by CAS Space (a.k.a. Beijing Zhongke Aerospace Exploration Technology Co.), a spin-off of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is equipped with 3 YF-102 keroLOX engines on its first stage and side boosters and will be developed into reusability. - Moved forward from October.
