On June 17, 2026, ExPace successfully launched the Kuaizhou 11 rocket carrying the CentiSpace-1 Group 05 mission from China's Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The payload consisted of satellites developed by Beijing-based Future Navigation intended to provide Global Navigation Satellite System augmentation services from low Earth orbit. These CentiSpace-1 satellites are part of an ambitious 160-satellite constellation designed to enhance GNSS positioning accuracy and reliability for commercial and civilian applications across the Asia-Pacific region.

The Kuaizhou 11 is a solid-fueled launch vehicle operated by the Chinese commercial spaceflight company ExPace. The rocket lifted off at 3:58 AM UTC from Jiuquan, one of China's primary satellite launch facilities located in the Gobi Desert. This mission represents continued expansion of China's commercial space sector, with ExPace demonstrating reliable small-lift capability for deploying navigation constellations.

The launch achieved its primary objective with a successful deployment. However, unofficial reports suggest potential complications during the upper stage separation sequence, with unconfirmed indications that one or more satellites may have remained attached to the rocket's upper stage rather than cleanly separating as planned. Despite these reports, ExPace and Chinese authorities did not officially confirm any deployment anomalies, and the mission was declared successful.
