User:Galactic Penguin SST/sandbox/List of Long March Launches

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of all orbital launches made by the Long March series of carrier rockets. The criteria for inclusion are having an accomplished ignition and liftoff and the surpassing of the Kármán line in maximum altitude. Notably absent from these lists is the 22 March 1992 launch of the Long March 2E launch vehicle carrying the Australian Optus B1 satellite, wherein the rocket was ignited at first but automatically shut down almost immediately after. Launches made with the related Feng Bao 1 carrier rocket are not included.
