We're about an hour away from a Long March 6A launch. Meanwhile, the CZ-12 (standard) has been rolled out at Wenchang. It's likely launching megaconstellation satellites (there will be no herd shot around the world...).

yea crazy amount of starlink satellites up there! didn't expect that.
Sometimes I read articles where it would be like we are building ourselves a spacejunk sarcophagus but I think most of this will just fall back into the atmosphere.

Do we really want 250,000 mirrored satellites in Low Earth Orbit? Hasn't the Starlink megaconstellation already done enough damage?

A US startup plans to deliver ‘sunlight on demand’ after dark. Can it work – and would we want it to?
Satellites beaming sunlight down to Earth sound like science fiction – and they have astronomers very worried.

Landspace secures launch contracts for China’s megaconstellation projects
HELSINKI — Commercial launch startup Landspace has secured formal contracts to launch satellites for China’s two main megaconstellation projects, helping to address a launch capacity bottleneck. Chinese media reported Jan. 7 that Landspace had secured formal contracts to launch satellites for the Guowang megaconstellation led by state-owned China SatNet and the Shanghai-backed Qianfan (Thousand Sails) project, citing LandSpace’s STAR Market initial public offering (IPO) prospectus filed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
