Official and primary sources for this label

If you cannot be there: State media (CCTV, Xinhua) stream some launches. The launch page lists the webcast when Launch Library 2 has the link.

Stay out of restricted zones. Launch sites, safety zones and military areas are closed on purpose; entering them, or photographing them where that is banned, can bring fines, detention or worse under local law. Only use viewing places that the site operator, the local authority or an accredited tour operator names, and follow staff and police instructions.
