http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Long_March_launches The following are lists that give details of all the recorded launches of the Long March series of carrier rockets. The criteria for inclusion are an accomplished ignition and liftoff and the surpassing of the Kármán line in maximum altitude. Notably absent from these lists is the 22 March 1992 launch of the Long March 2E launch vehicle carrying the Australian Optus B1 satellite wherein the rocket was ignited at first but automatically shut down almost immediately after. Although it did not constitute a launch, some records do still include this launch attempt as an official launch. Launches made with the related Fengbao 1 carrier rocket are not included. Unless otherwise indicated, much of the information presented here are taken from the following two sources: [1] [2].
