Provenance Record

Tight, well-sourced launch News piece (559 words) that balances the technical debut against the notable missing-airspace-warning angle, with disciplined single-outlet attribution.

All 3 snapshots read from disk (HTTP 200). source-0 (SpaceNews) confirms verbatim the June 1 / 4:40 a.m. Eastern / 0840 UTC liftoff, the Dongfeng/Jiuquan Gobi site, the Qianfan / Thousand Sails megaconstellation, CASC announcing within an hour, the two satellites at 1,020-1,048 km polar orbits, the 4.37 m core / ~72 m length, the nine YF-102R engines and YF-102RV vacuum variant, the ~20,000 kg LEO capacity, the YF-102 heritage on Tianlong-2 / Kinetica-2, the Long March 12A predecessor, and the deferred first-stage recovery. source-1 (Live Science) confirms the '236-foot-tall (72 meters)' height and the absent airspace notice. source-2 (Scientific American) confirms the Starlink/Falcon 9 rivalry, the missing airspace-or-maritime notices, the 'international law … responsible for any damage' point, and that the flight did not attempt to recover the first stage.

Every specific traces to the cited outlet and is verbatim. The article correctly resolves the operator conflict — citing CASC (per SpaceNews and Scientific American) and deliberately NOT attributing the operator to Live Science, which incorrectly said CASIC. The bot also dropped non-citable Xinhua-only specifics (a mission number, a fairing diameter, and a conditional satellite count). No direct quotes, so no verbatim-quote risk.

High-quality, fully-verified launch submission with careful operator-conflict resolution and no fabricated specifics. APPROVE.
