All interest have been put on ZQ-3 the past day, but don't forget there might be more than a dozen more from China before 2025 is off! Firstly though, this KZ-1A launch next door to the ZQ-3 pad has slipped 1 day to December 5 ~09:00 UTC...

More action from Jiuquan: a Kuaizhou-1A lifted off at 0900 UTC today, successfully sending the VDES A and B satellites into orbit. This was China's 78th launch of the year.
