Scrapes the official CALT (China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology / 中国运载火箭技术研究院) news portal for Long March rocket mission updates, launch success/failure reports, and fleet news.
CALT builds the Long March (长征) family — CZ-2, CZ-3, CZ-5, CZ-7, CZ-8, CZ-10, CZ-11, and the Jielong (捷龙) commercial series — which collectively account for roughly 80% of all Chinese orbital launches. CALT mission bulletins are the primary source for post-flight outcome data and appear minutes after liftoff.

- Derives structured mission metadata: rocket family (CZ-5, CZ-7A, CZ-8A, CZ-10, JL-3, etc.), launch site (文昌/酒泉/太原/西昌), and mission outcome (成功/失利/部分成功)
