Summary
Beidou-3 IGSO-2 launched on a China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Long March 3B/E from Launch Complex 3 (LC-3/LA-1), Xichang Satellite Launch Center, People's Republic of China on June 24, 2019. It was China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation's 254th launch, 10th this year and humanity's 5,859th orbital launch attempt. It was the 30th Long March 3B/E flight and the 4th this year. The payload was bound for Medium Earth Orbit (MEO). Beidou DW 46, one of 2 catalogued objects, reached a 207 × 35,829 km orbit inclined 28.6°. 2 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
