  The Experiment 20 C satellite was developed by the Institute of Microsatellite Innovation, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The Long March 2D carrier rocket for this mission is a normal temperature liquid two-stage carrier rocket developed by the Eighth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. The single-satellite and multi-satellite launch capabilities required by the different orbits of the three satellite launch centers in Jiuquan, Taiyuan and Xichang.

  This launch is the 12th mission of the Changerding model this year, and it is also the final battle of the Changerding model at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in 2022.

Since August this year, the Changer-Ding model has entered the high-density launch stage. Faced with the parallel high-density tasks of development, production and entry, the model is planned in advance and the factories are coordinated to jointly ensure that every launch of the Long March-2D launch vehicle is guaranteed. The mission was successfully implemented, and the historic breakthrough of 8 rounds in 3 months and 6 rounds in 2 months was achieved for the first time.

The mission is the 445th flight of the Long March series of launch vehicles.
