According to the CCTV. A "Sea launch & recovery platform" will compete around early Feb. The footage is all showing the Haiyang launch site on the LianIi island. May be the journalist got it wrong or the launch site is indeed called the "Sea launch & recovery platform". via CCTV Jan 21, 2026 The footage is reportedly showing the Haiyang launch site on LianIi Island.

There's been some inconsistent reporting on Hainan launches for about 2w, with varying reports of delayed launches, lately some even announce the delay of all launches to after spring festival, except CZ-10A test. Speculation but I wonder if they're "all hands on deck" on CZ-10A Jan 21, 2026 There have been inconsistent reports on Hainan launches for about two weeks.

Speculation but I wonder if they're "all hands on deck" on CZ-10A Jan 21, 2026 The CZ-3B launch is scheduled for February 7th, 2026.
Just to be clear: this has nothing to do with the CZ-3B failure, these reporting precede it by 10 days, and by the way NOTAM indicate CZ-3B is flying on Feb 7th (a date which was previously announced), the failure doesn't seem to have impacted its launch schedule at all Jan 21, 2026 The Orbital Index tracked global space activities beyond just United States space activities.
