Zhuque-2E, flown by LandSpace

Counting every operator, it was the 182nd orbital launch attempt anywhere in 2025, and the second from Launch Area 96A.
LandSpace
Officially described as "Satellite-Internet Technology Demonstration Satellite(s)". Probably 4 test satellites for the Chinese state-owned LEO communication satellite constellation SatNet.
Zhuque-2E (E stands for “enhanced”) is a medium-sized rocket powered by liquid oxygen and methane capable of lifting 6,000 kg of payload into a 200 km low Earth orbit, or 4,000 kg of payload into a 500 km Sun-synchronous orbit. It differs from the baseline Zhuque-2 in using enhanced TQ-12A engines on the 1st stage with higher thrust and specific impulse than the original TQ-12, and a new TQ-15A engine on the 2nd stage that has a moveable nozzle.

This one is done, but there is another along shortly. Flyby works out whether it climbs into your sky, and wakes you in time to get outside.
