Rocket and provider in our data

Long March 2D has 2 launches in T-ZERO’s data: 1 completed (successful), and 1 upcoming. Across all rockets, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation appears on 16 of the 139 launches in our data (12%), using 9 rocket configurations.

T-ZERO keeps roughly the last two months of launches plus everything scheduled ahead, so these figures describe recent activity and are not an all-time record.

Timing

The time on this page is a NET, short for “no earlier than”: the earliest moment the provider is aiming for. Launches often slip by minutes, hours or days for weather, range or technical reasons. Launch Library 2 lists a window of 33 minutes, 11:32 UTC – 12:05 UTC. The status “Go” means Launch Library 2 treats the current launch time as confirmed by an official or reliable source; it can still slip.
