Short description: Launch vehicle

The Long March 6C (CZ-6C) is a Chinese two-stage-to-orbit liquid-fueled launch vehicle made by Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology. It is a dual engine first stage variant of Long March 6 or single stick variant of Long March 6A.^[4] Both the first and second stages use liquid oxygen/kerosene propellants RP-1. It will be used for low Earth orbit (LEO) and Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) launch missions, for example launching small and medium-sized military, civilian and commercial satellites in low and medium orbits.

A rideshare launch opportunity by Long March 6C was sold at an online auction in July 2023, with bidding prices starting at ¥87,000/kg. ^[5]
