China cranks out a second Long March 2 D launch 2 days of first

JUST IN: Todays Epic night time launch of Long March2D rocket is just eye watering good. Long March 2D Y81 launched Yaogan36 (a group of 3 satellites) from Xichang Satellite Launch Center at 20:02UTC on July 26. This is the 150th consecutive successful launch of a Long March rocket. This makes it 10 such Chinese triplets for the YG35, 36 group in 500 km 35 degrees inclination LEOs, plus another 10 of the YG30 series in slightly higher 590 km orbits. Thats more launches used than even OneWeb did We can all speculate what they are doing up there. , chinaspace, longmarch2d, yaogan36
