China's Space Program Thread II
- Thread starter Blitzo
- Start date
I want to wait on a NOTAM to be 100 percent sure, but apparently ZQ-3 has been withdrawn from the pad and launch delayed for a significant period of time. Someone mentioned to me that they heard it was from "repainting of the landpad" lol.
This may mean that the CZ-12A will be the first to fly as reusable.

Definitely very weird on the Landspace front.
It doesn't really matter which rocket launches first. But if none of them launch in the remaining 31 days (and who knows what might happen with the CZ-12A), it will be another lost year for China's reusable rockets 
. Despite all the optimistic statements.

Unrelated afaik. I cannot say for certain that it's not a contributing factor, but I do not believe it influenced this delay.
I do still have faith in the CZ-12A. The launch center is crowded at the moment, and unless we see an individual issue with all companies/organizations (very unlikely) or a system-wide/government policy change/safety precaution with the entire center (more likely than the other option), I think the CZ-12A will launch as expected next month.It doesn't really matter which rocket launches first.

We should have more information from Landspace too.
