Upper stage anomaly
HELSINKI — A pair of Chinese spacecraft, apparently intended for lunar orbit, have potentially been lost following an issue with a Long March rocket’s upper stage on Wednesday.
A Long March 2C rocket lifted off from Xichang Satellite Launch Center at 8:51 a.m. Eastern (1251 UTC) March 13. There was no official acknowledgement of the launch until early Thursday, when Chinese state media Xinhua announced the DRO-A and B spacecraft had not been inserted accurately into their designated orbit by the rocket’s Yuanzheng-1S upper stage.
State media did not explain what it was heading towards the Moon for

I've been away for a while. I'm glad to continue to update the three Chinese orbital launches during my absence.

A Long March 2D rocket launched multiple satellites 3 Apr 2024.
This was China's 15th orbital launch this year.
I'm getting increasingly doubtful if China can launch 100 times in 2024 at current launch cadence. Stay tuned.
