Both stages of the Long March 2C burn dinitrogen tetroxide and unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine.

AlSat-3A, the first of the two satellites for Algeria, launched on January 15, 2026.

Long March 2C launched the AlSat-3B satellite.

The launch occurred at 04:01 UTC on January 31, 2026.

AlSat-3B is for Algeria.

Long March 2C lifted off at 04:01 UTC on January 31, 2026.

Long March 2C launched the AlSat-3B satellite for Algeria.

AlSat-3B is an Algerian satellite.

Long March 2C launched the ALSAT-3A satellite for Algeria at 04:01 UTC on January 15, 2026.

Long March 2C launched the AlSat-3B satellite for Algeria at 04:01 UTC on January 31, 2026.

A NOTAM indicated a Jiuquan SLC launch to sun-synchronous orbit scheduled for January 30 at approximately 04:00 UTC.

The NOTAM's affected zone matched the zone used for the LM-2C/AlSat-3A launch 16 days earlier.

A Chinese launch from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to sun-synchronous orbit was scheduled for January 30 at approximately 04:00 UTC.

A Long March 2C/AlSat-3A launch occurred 16 days before January 30 and had a NOTAM zone identical to the January 30 Jiuquan SLC launch.

The NOTAM zone for the January 30 Jiuquan SLC launch matched the NOTAM zone for the Long March 2C/AlSat-3A launch 16 days earlier.

AlSat-3B successfully launched at 04:01 UTC on a Long March 2C (LM-2C) rocket.

The interval between Algeria’s previous Earth-observing satellite launch from the same site and the AlSat-3B launch was exactly 16 days.

AlSat-3B is Algeria’s second Earth-observing satellite.

The launch of AlSat-3B used the same drop zones and the same time-of-day launch profile as Algeria’s previous satellite launch from the same site.

AlSat-3A launched.

Limited public information has been available about AlSat-3A since its launch.

A video from an Algerian satellite control room includes an illustration purportedly of AlSat-3A.

A Long March launch vehicle is shown on a launch pad at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

Chinese teams use drones to capture footage of rocket launches.

The photographed booster displays the marking "CZ-2C" on its side.

A Long March 2C vehicle has been repainted from its previous distinctive tracking-camera color patterns to a plain white livery.

The photographed Long March 2C booster carries the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) roundel and an "LM" circular logo on its lower stage segment.

The Long March 2C is built by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT).

A video clearly shows a launch vehicle with an all-white livery.

Amazon contracted an additional 10 launches on SpaceX's Falcon 9 to deploy its Amazon LEO constellation in a filing with the FCC.

Amazon converted 12 of the 15 previously announced additional optional launches on Blue Origin's New Glenn into firm orders.

Ceres-2 crashed near or inside the parameter of JSLC.

CZ-2C launched Alsat-3B.

One CZ-7A launch and one CZ-8A launch have been postponed, possibly linked to a third-stage failure of the CZ-3B.

The nomenclature CZ10C/Commercial CZ-10A aligns with a previous CALT announcement.

The 240-ton-class engine is designed to be reused more than 10 times and to enable launch intervals of less than 72 hours.

The CZ10C/Commercial CZ-10A is reported to use a 240 tf "half-YF-130" engine with potential for uprating.

The 240-ton-class engine has a sea-level thrust of 240 tons.

A 240-ton-class commercial reusable high-pressure staged-combustion liquid oxygen–kerosene engine developed by the Sixth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation completed a 200-second long-duration test.

Plans call for 5–8 long-duration test runs in the first half of the year with a total test time of over 1,000 seconds to verify the engine's adaptability and reliability under extreme operating conditions.

A 300-ton improved model of the engine will be developed later to enhance thrust and reusability for heavy commercial rockets.

The 240-ton-class engine is intended to be used for the first commercial launch mission of the Long March 10A commercial rocket in 2027.

The 240-ton-class engine uses reusable technologies including ceramic bearing turbopumps and 3D-printed cooling channels.

Additional investments are planned to create new spaces and connected training hubs, including locations outside Turin, to respond to growing employer demand for specialized technical profiles.

The new ITS site on Corso Svizzera provides 2,400 square meters of classrooms and laboratories.

Including previously existing spaces, the ITS facility portfolio in Turin reaches a total of 3,200 square meters.

The renovation of the Corso Svizzera ITS premises was financed with 3.3 million euros from PNRR funds.

Stefano Lo Russo, Mayor of the City of Turin and the Metropolitan City of Turin, attended the inauguration event and opened the meeting with institutional greetings.

The demand for skills in high-automation sectors in the region has grown to the point that training programs struggle to satisfy all company requests.

The Corso Svizzera premises were previously used as offices and an archive before conversion to training spaces.
