Summary
Long March 12 launches its tenth Guowang mission from Hainan tonight at 3:25 PM ET. With only 230 of 12,992 planned satellites deployed, China must launch 10 times faster to meet the ITU spectrum deadline of 2031-2032 or risk forfeiting orbital rights. Debris has fallen in Philippine waters on seven of nine prior missions.
