China’s first sea launch delivered three satellites to orbit. The mobile sea launch platform, escorted by Chinese Coast Guard cutters, moved into position and launched a Long March 11 rocket at 0406 UT 5 Jun 2019.
The four-stage solid rocket carried two Jilin-1 earth observation satellites, as well as the CAS-6 Amateur Radio satellite, a 50 cm, 50 kg unit with one VHF narrowband transponder, AX.25 telemetry, and a CW beacon.
