Since the OP really can't explain clearly what is going on, let me elaborate: Yup, the Chinese have launched another satellite again! This time though, there's no official news coming through even at this moment 2 hours after a Long March 3B rocket lifted off from China's Xichang Satellite...

Well, how time flies much faster on a space station than on a Space Shuttle, even if the mission elapse time are the same! (perhaps because no one really tracks daily work on the ISS as oppose to even a scientific oriented STS mission) And so after a happy 10 days trip in space, Andreas...

The appearance of these postcards means that.....launch season is coming up in China! And apparently they are pushing the throttle back to 100% with up to 5 launches this September (!). As shown above, the maiden flights of "China's Vega" Long March 6 and "China's Minotaur" Long March 11 may...

The interesting thing is that Vostochny is much closer to the Chinese border than anything else - it's only a 2.5 hours drive (240 km/150 miles) from the Russian border city of Blagoveshchensk, where you can cross the Amur river into China (the city of Heihe) and catch daily trains/flights to...

Wow. Most spectacular launch I have seen for a long time! :love:

New launch time of 6:18 am Eastern (10:18 UTC).

Well, I've managed to find something to say. ;)

The crew is now in orbit! They have become the 300th HSF crew to reach orbit in history and the passengers of the 500th launch from the iconic "Gagarin's Start" pad 1/5 at Baikonur (depending on how you count some marginal cases). :thumbup:
