Rocket and provider in our data
Long March 12 has 4 launches in T-ZERO’s data: 2 completed (all 2 successful), and 2 upcoming. This is the 2nd of 2 upcoming Long March 12 launches that have a confirmed date. Across all rockets, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation appears on 15 of the 140 launches in our data (11%), using 9 rocket configurations. Commercial LC-2 is listed for 4 other launches in our data. 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
Treat the time above as a target, not a promise: NET means “no earlier than”, and slips of minutes, hours or whole days happen. Launch Library 2 lists a window of 3 hours, 07:00 UTC – 10:00 UTC. The status “TBC” (to be confirmed) means a date is likely but still awaits official confirmation.
