China's attempt to launch the DRO-A/B satellite on Wednesday from the Xichang satellite launch center was unsuccessful, according to official state media reports. The Long March 2C rocket, which was used for the launch, had been tracked by Taiwanese tracking systems and apparent spectator footage, indicating its launch around 1251 UTC. However, there has been no official update or acknowledgment of the launch from China. This incident follows reports of a failed missile test in Japan, where a privately developed small rocket exploded shortly after launch, with no injuries reported. Additionally, a missile test scheduled in India was canceled, with hopes for a rescheduled date.
