ha-ha, it's not for nothing that I felt something :)))

"神舟 20 最新消息:一份空域关闭通知显示,受损的神舟 20 载人飞船将于 1 月 19 日 01:20-01:50 UTC 之间尝试重返大气层并着陆。当然,这次着陆将无人执行,但看看它能否成功着陆将会很有意思。"

The AlSat 3A (developed by Algeria) has been launched from Jiuquan onboard a Long March 2C, the third launch from China this year.

This is a great move towards more Global South cooperation, China has notably cooperated with Egypt, the UAE, Oman, Pakistan, and many more in space, especially in the past five years. AlSat-3B is also expected to be launched soon from China, and the pair of satellites will be used for land observation, agricultural yield estimates, urban planning, environmental monitoring, and more. I believe I read that it will be submeter precise, versus 2.5-10 meters in prior iterations. Algeria usually relied on European firms to manufacture their first AlSat series, now committing to CGWIC, a major shift as well by itself.


Also for context on the image of the rocket that is being transported, people believe that is the Long March 10B, according to rumors I have seen, with hooks and fins able to be made out through the tarp.


Also we should see another launch, the Ceres-1 Y7, from the sea in the next 12 hours or so.
