Thank you very much, that is very interesting.

Launched at 1731Z 28May2025 from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center,
southwest China, per space dot com.

I hope the mission succeeds. Grabbing a lump of asteroid would be quite
the feat, and then there's swinging around for a six year trip to visit
comet 311P/PANSTARRS.
