A Long March 12 lifted off from the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site at 08:32 China Standard Time on 17 September 2026 with the 25th group of low-orbit satellite internet spacecraft. The mission report carried by CASC says the spacecraft entered the planned orbit and the launch succeeded. CASC describes the rocket as a cryogenic launch vehicle led by its Eighth Academy, with China Commercial Rocket Company providing the launch service as prime contractor. This was a separate flight from the 26th-group mission on 23 September; images or mission details from one should not be attributed to the other. This is a retrospective report about the 17 September launch, not a future launch prediction. The source photographs are not reproduced without confirmed rights.
