Is it probable that technicians have incorporated into the second Zhuque-2 vehicle the structural adjustments correcting quirks that might have doomed the first Zhuque-2 launch so that the Zhuque-2 makes it to orbit this time?

It appears that Landspace has rolled ZhuQue-2 out to the launch pad ahead of the vehicle's second orbital launch attempt from Jiuquan later this month.

I guess it will be launched on June 18.

It is said this launch is delayed to July, I am not sure if it is true...
