Upcoming China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation launches
The next China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation launch is Long March 12A | Flight 2, flown by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation from Long March 12 series Pad, Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, People's Republic of China, lifting off no earlier than 2026-10-31 00:00:00Z. 2 China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation launches are currently on the manifest below, each with a live countdown, its pad, its vehicle and a plain statement of how firm the date actually is. This one is filed as a target date rather than a confirmed T-0, so expect it to move.

Put every upcoming launch in your own calendar. It updates itself when a date slips, which most of them do.
Confirmed launches arrive as a timed entry with a 30-minute alert. Everything still provisional arrives as an all-day entry with no alert and no busy time — because a placeholder date that interrupts you is worse than no entry at all.
It depends on how precisely the operator has filed the flight, and every launch on this page is labelled with that precision. A launch marked T-0 SET is accurate to the minute or better and is worth setting an alarm for. One marked NET ±1 DAY, ±1 WEEK or coarser is a placeholder: the date will move. As a rule, times firm up inside the final 48 hours, and the last unknown is usually weather.
FAQ / 02
BRIEF
Why do launches slip?
Four reasons cover almost all of it: weather at the pad or in the booster recovery zone, a range conflict with another user of the same airspace or sea lane, a failed check on the vehicle or the payload during the count, and orbital mechanics. A rendezvous with the International Space Station has a window measured in seconds, so missing it costs a full day. Slips of hours to weeks are routine and rarely mean anything is wrong.
FAQ / 03
BRIEF
Which agencies and operators are covered?
All of them. SpaceX, United Launch Alliance, Rocket Lab, Arianespace, Blue Origin and Firefly; the state programmes CASC, Roscosmos, ISRO and JAXA; and the newer Chinese commercial operators such as Galactic Energy and LandSpace. The manifest comes from Launch Library 2, which tracks orbital launches worldwide, and this page lists whatever is scheduled with no editorial filter.
FAQ / 04
BRIEF
How often does this manifest update?
Delta-V re-reads the upstream launch manifest every fifteen minutes and re-renders this page with it, so a scrub, a new target date or a fresh T-0 appears here within about a quarter of an hour of the operator filing it. The countdowns do not wait on that: each one ticks live in your browser against the published launch time, down to the second inside the final hour.
