[ As Newest ChangZheng Long March Carrier Rocket member is added to China’s new generation of carrier rocket family]

At 17:30 on February 11, China’s new carrier rocket Long March 8A carrier rocket ignited and took off from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in China. Subsequently, the rocket successfully sent the satellite Internet low-orbit 02 group of satellites into the predetermined orbit. The first flight mission of the Long March 8A rocket was a complete success, which marked that China’s new generation of carrier rocket family has added a new member and the Long March 8 carrier rocket has been serialized.


The ChangZheng – Long March 8A rocket was developed by the First Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. It is a two-stage and a half liquid carrier rocket independently developed by China. From the appearance, the rocket has a “bigger head”, which can provide a larger passenger space for satellites, adapt to more types and larger satellites, and have stronger mission adaptability.


The satellite Internet low-orbit 02 group of satellites was developed by the Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.


This launch is the 559th launch of the Long March series of carrier rockets.

As China’s main rocket for medium and low orbits in the future, the Long March 8A rocket will carry out its first flight mission….

“The Long March 8A rocket is specially developed based on the Long March 8 rocket to meet the future medium and low orbit giant constellation network launch needs.” Song Zhengyu, chief designer of the Long March 8 model, introduced that “the Long March 8A rocket has the characteristics of advanced performance, low cost, high reliability and rapid launch . This maiden flight mission marks the official debut of the Long March 8A rocket, which will make important contributions to China’s low-orbit satellite networking and other tasks . It is of great significance and cannot be missed.”

“The Chang’e-8A rocket embodies the hard work and efforts of the entire team. It took 28 months to develop. So far, 44 large-scale ground tests have been completed and many key technologies have been mastered .” Xiao Yun, chief commander of the Chang’e-8 model, said, “The model team has the confidence and ability to complete this launch mission.”

Before the shipment, the General Design Department, Material Center, Beijing Institute of Space Launch Technology, Tianjin Aerospace Long March Rocket Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and other relevant units worked closely together to efficiently complete the loading of the rocket body and standard containers. At the same time, the Chang-8 Project Office also organized the status monitoring and safety protection of the rocket body to ensure that everything was ready.

Subsequently, all members of the Chang-8A Yao-1 rocket launch team will continue to thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, as well as the important speech of General Secretary Xi Jinping, cooperate with each other and work closely together, treat every detail with a rigorous, cautious and practical attitude, implement the spirit of the ninth working conference of the group company, complete related work with high quality, concentrate their hearts and minds, and work together to ensure the successful completion of the first flight mission.
