>Succesful launch at 02:00 UTC of CZ-7A Y14 from Wenchang LC201 carrying Yaogan-45 to a "medium earth orbit".
>This marks the Long March 7A's first medium-orbit launch mission. By strengthening the core-stage tank structure and increasing the number of core-stage engine starts, the design team has increased the Long March 7A's medium-orbit payload capacity from 7 tons to over 8 tons, enhancing the rocket's mission adaptability. (It can be assumed this is a relatively "high energy" medium orbit since these performances capabilities are close to the GTO ones)
>In addition, the design team optimized the assembly and testing process, reducing the launch preparation cycle from 23 days to 19 days, further adapting to future high-density launch demands.
