The Kaituozhe (Chinese: 开拓者; pinyin: kāi tuò zhě; lit.
'pioneer') or KT rocket family is a series of launch vehicles built by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC).
The first flight failed to place a 50 kg satellite into polar orbit due to a second stage malfunction.
[4] The maiden flight of the Kaituozhe-2[5] took place at 23:45 UTC on March 2, 2017, from Jiuquan (apparently from one of the two solid rocket launch pads[1]).
[7] The KT-2 is a rapid-response launcher; the rocket is capable of mobile-launch from a transporter-erector-launcher (TEL) vehicle.
