We have also learned they will attempt another launch on the 30th of November, which should be the shortest turnaround for the LC-201 pad, and of the Long March 7 series.

The November 30th launch will happen at around 11:00 UTC, we have that updated. We also have a NOTAM issued.

I don't know if this is new or not here, but we have another NOTAM issued for the 19th of November, for a Long March 8A, more Guowang satellites.

We have another NOTAM, for the 21st of November, payload unknown at this time, a Long March 3B, from Xichang.

Yet another NOTAM, Long March 11H, from the barge in the Yellow Sea, I think the payload is also unknown at this time.

And enough of NOTAMs now. We have some images from the Long March 12 that should be launching on the 10th, with some Guowang satellites, from Hainan. I will put those below, of the rocket being rolled out.

And that about does it. Just a bunch of NOTAMs, good thing is November should be a busy month. Also if any updates come in about the SZ-20 recovery, I will let everyone know.

(Just in) Tianwen-1 orbiter observes 3I/ATLAS around Mars.

Many are curious why China observed 3I/ATLAS so late? Are most China's sensors not close enough or not in proper track/direction? Or China is technologically falling behind in terms of outer space sensoring? Any ideas? :rolleyes:

Late announcement probably. Don’t know why.

They detected it in early October and one of the closest using their Mars Orbiter (Tianwen 1 Satellite)
