Wenchang

Long March 5 launched TJS-25 from the national Wenchang Space Launch Site at 15:30 Beijing time on June 11, 2026. CASC confirmed delivery to the planned orbit and success, the Long March family's 650th launch. This is distinct from Hainan Commercial. Developed by the Fifth Academy, the satellite will demonstrate multi-band, high-data-rate communications. Orbital delivery is not completion of those experiments. The First Academy's launcher incorporated nine reliability-related technical changes. Further capacity and processing improvements remained development directions, not quantified gains established by this flight. The archive preserves the confirmed launch and uses only exact existing Catalog associations. It does not alter mission history or infer undisclosed bands or purposes.
