The Long March 2A also known as the Chang Zheng 2A CZ-2A and LM-2A was a Chinese orbital carrier rocket. It was launched from Launch Area 2B at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre. It was a 2-stage rocket and flew just once on 5 November 1974. During this flight a cable connecting the pitch rate control gyroscope to the guidance system became disconnected resulting in a loss of control and launch failure.
