On 19 November 2018, a SAST-built and operated Long March 2D (CZ-2D) rocket lifted off from the Jiuquan launch site in china.  The launch was aiming to place a Shiyan Weixing 6 satellite into a 500km Sun-synchronous low Earth orbit as well as some smaller satellites. The Shiyan Weixing 6 (aka Shiyan -6) is officially to be used to measure the space environment.

The other satellites carried included Tianping-1A which is a satellite built using the Pina satellite bus design by DFH Shenzhen and is designed to calibrate ground based radars, and its sister craft Tianping-1B which is designed to test other ground-based monitoring and command systems.

The 27kg Tianzhi-1 was built by the Shanghai CAS Microsat Innovation Center for the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Software. It is reported to carry a cloud processor with an interface to mobile phones.

The 50kg Jiading-1, or OKW-01, is a prototype of the OKSAT LEO comms satellite bus for the Xiangyun constellation to be operated by SPACEOK (Shanghai OK MicroAerospace Tech YG).
