China launched a Long March-8A rocket from the Hainan commercial spacecraft launch site on October 25, 2026, successfully placing a new batch of low-Earth-orbit internet satellites into their designated orbit. The mission carried the 28th group of satellites for China’s Guowang satellite internet project and marked the 674th flight of the Long March rocket series.

Guowang is designed to become a large satellite constellation providing internet connectivity. China’s planned network could eventually include around 13,000 satellites, placing it among the world’s major satellite-internet projects. Although reports identify this launch as a group of nine satellites, the total number of operational spacecraft depends on how satellites in orbit and deployment stages are counted.
