[skywatcher]

[private]A Land Space Zhuque-2 rocket launched three satellites 9 Dec 2023.
This was China's 58th orbital launch this year.
Zhuque-2 is a private LOX/CH4 fueled rocket with a payload capacity of 6 t to LEO.

Coming up next:
A Long March 2D rocket will launch XX satellites 10 Dec 2023.

Mission patch as always
