(NET) Kuaizhou KZ-11 • DEAR 6 & DEAR 11

An ExPace Kuaizhou (Clipper) KZ-11 rocket will launch the DEAR 6 (B300-L03) and DEAR 11 (B300-F01) recoverable capsule for AZSpace as one payload stack into into a near-Earth circular orbit at an altitude of 360km and an inclination of 41.5°. Both capsules are connected by a node module and resemble an uncrewed mini space station. The DEAR (Discovery Exploration Advance Recovery) B300 complex will test technologies for uncrewed spacecraft, including rendezvous and docking tests and reentry and return tests in orbit. DEAR 11 will return to Earth after operating independently in orbit for about a month.
