Hello,
I have several questions:
There is some confusion with which rocket the Chinese satellite Feng Yung
2-2 was launched on June 25. Most sources say the CZ3 but some reports
indicate that this was done with the CZ3A. Can somebody clarify this ?
Another question concerns the CIS launch pad designations:
On wich Proton launchpad was Sirius(2000-35A) launched: I have indications
that this could be LC81R, LC81P or Pad 24. Maybe Pad 24 is LC81 R or P, I
don't know.
The latest Cluster launch with the Soyuz rocket was launched on LC31 and
others say Pad 6, is this simply Launch Complex 31, pad 6 ?
Another Proton Launch pad is LC200 which was used for Express 3A or does
this have another designation ?
Is there a chart available somewhere with Plesetsk, Baikonur, Kapustin Yar
and other CIS launch pad designations ?
Thanks,
Tristan Cools
