The Long March 2C rocket blasted off at 11:58pm on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026, from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province, sending the Yaogan-51 07-09 satellites into their preset orbits successfully. The satellites will mainly be used for scientific experiments and electromagnetic environment detection.
The Long March 2C (LM-2C), also known as the Chang Zheng 2C (CZ-2C), is a Chinese orbital launch vehicle, part of the Long March 2 rocket family. Developed and manufactured by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT), the Long March 2C made its first launch on September 9, 1982.
