Summary
Shijian 19 launched on a China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Long March 2D from Launch Area 94 (SLS-2 / 603), Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, People's Republic of China on September 27, 2024 at 10:30 UTC. The launch window ran from 10:22 to 11:02 UTC. It was China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation's 484th launch, 32nd this year and humanity's 6,770th orbital launch attempt. It was the 88th Long March 2D flight and the 6th this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). Shi Jian 19 RV, one of 4 catalogued objects, reached a 327 × 354 km orbit inclined 41.4°. 4 objects from this launch are catalogued, 2 of them payloads.

About this launch
Shijian 19 is a Chinese recoverable satellite for hoisting various scientific experiments in microgravity. Unlike previous similar Chinese satellites, the return capsule can be reused up to 15 times and can carry about 500 kg of recoverable payload, as well as 200 kg of unrecoverable payload. This type of satellite can be flown in a short term configuration powered by batteries or in a long term configuration with solar arrays.
