The mission
Long March 2D is set to launch an undisclosed payload for CNSA from Launch Complex 9 in Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center, People's Republic of China, Wed, Nov 18 · 10:50 PM UTC. Target orbit: Unknown. Mission type: Unknown. It is CNSA's 625th launch.
See it on the radar: the countdown, the flight path and where to look from your ZIP code.
Can I see it?
Set your ZIP code on the radar to see how far you are from the pad.
Liftoff is before sunrise at the pad, and the rocket should climb high enough to reach sunlight while the ground below is dark. Sunlit exhaust can glow against the darker sky, the view people have reported from as far as about 590 mi (950 km).
It should head northeast from the pad. We guess the heading from the target orbit, so the real path can differ.
Whether you can see it depends on where you are, the weather and the exact time. Open it on Astro Radar with your ZIP code for a modeled estimate of where to look, worked out for every second of the flight. It is an estimate, not a promise.
