Qianfan cadence: still no confirmed new launch.
As the brief logged it
Mandarin sweep (CAST, Xinhua, 36Kr, china-in-space.com, cross-checked against independent trackers) found no Qianfan/Spacesail launch since the June 5 batch-12 mission (cumulative ~200 satellites). ~7 more launches would be needed by end-July to hit the ~324-satellite near-term target; none confirmed. Guowang similarly shows no launch since April 9 (~168–190 sats). H1 2027 base case for Qianfan consumer service holds unchanged.
