The Long March 6 (CZ-6) is a liquid-fuelled, small-lift launch vehicle part of China’s next generation orbital launcher family, developed based on the same common rocket engines that use environmentally friendly kerosene and cryogenic propellants. The first all-new Chinese orbital launcher introduced in nearly two decades, the CZ-6 has been positioned as a small-load orbital launcher for small- and micro-satellites of under 1,000 kg mass, which puts the CZ-6 in the same class as the European Space Agency Vega and the Russian Angara-1.
