Quote from: mikezang on 11/09/2024 12:05 amThe CZ-5B will be launched this year.The reference you quoted does not state when CZ-5B will launch. It could be next year.
I'm curious what orbit the core stage will enter considering there is a YZ-2 upper stage on this CZ-5B.
It is said the payloads are Weixing Huliangwang Digui 01A-J (卫星互联网低轨01组10星), and the number is Y6/Y2.
The CZ-5B can launch about 25ton, and GW x 18 is about 8ton, so I guest this time will be launched about 54 GW sats.
