On the morning of 17th March 2024, Sunday Hong Kong SAR- Beijing Time at CNSA – China National Space Administration – Wenchang Space Craft launch Center it was the Rollout of the newly assembled Chang Zheng-Long March 8 Yao 3 Carrier Rocket towards its Launch complex station 201.. Hainan Province, China, People’s Republic of China.

Queqiao-2 relay satellite and the Long March-8 Yao-3 carrier rocket completed their technology at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in China. In order to carry out related work in the area, the star-rocket assembly was transported vertically to the launch area, and the launch is planned to be carried out in the near future. After the Queqiao-2 relay satellite and the Long March-8 Yao-3 carrier rocket arrived at the launch site in February, they have successively completed various preparations such as final assembly and testing. At 8:10 on the 17th, the movable launch platform carrying the Long March 8 Yao-3 carrier rocket slowly drove out of the launch site’s vertical test plant and safely transferred the satellite-rocket assembly to the launch area. Subsequently, after completing the rocket function inspection, joint testing work and propellant filling, the launch will be carried out at an appropriate time.

On the 23RD February 2024 Hour Hong- Kong SAR – Beijing time CNSA –China National Space Administration   At 19:30 on February 23, 2024, Beijing time, the “Chang Zheng -Long March 5” Yao-7 carrier rocket carrying the communication technology test satellite No. 11 was launched from the 101 station of the Wenchang launch site, Hainan Province, China, People’s Republic of China., sending the satellite into the geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO).

Communication technology test satellite No. 11 was developed by the Communications and Navigation Department of the Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. It is mainly used to carry out multi-band, high-speed satellite communication technology verification.

The Chang Zheng -Long March 5″ Yao-7 carrier rocket  is a new generation launch vehicle developed by the First Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. It is a large cryogenic liquid bundled launch vehicle. It adopts a two-stage and a half configuration, consisting of a core first stage, a core second stage, and four boosters. device composition. The maximum height of the rocket is about 63.2 meters, with a core diameter of 5 meters and a booster diameter of 3.35 meters. It can be equipped with a standard fairing with a diameter of 5.2 meters and a length of 12.267 meters and an extended fairing with a diameter of 5.2 meters and a length of 18.5 meters. The take-off mass is about 877 tons, with a take-off thrust of about 1,068 tons, and its Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) capacity is not less than 14 tons. This rocket is China’s launch vehicle with the highest altitude, the strongest mid-to-high orbit capacity, and the highest carrying efficiency currently in service.

Since its successful first flight, the ” Chang Zheng -Long March 5″ rocket has carried out 7 launch missions, and has achieved 5 consecutive victories since Yaosan. This launch comes only 70 days after the last launch of the “Chang 5″ series rockets, setting a record for the minimum launch interval of the ” Chang Zheng -Long March 5″ series rockets. Starting from the launch of the ” Chang Zheng -Long March 5 Yao 7 Carrier rocket at the end of 2023, the ” Chang Zheng -Long March 5″ series rockets have entered a high-density launch period. Four launch missions are planned in 2024, and five launch missions are expected to be carried out in 2025. In the first half of 2024, the ” Chang Zheng -Long March 5 carrier rocket will carry out the launch mission of the “Chang’e-6” lunar probe of China’s lunar exploration project, and send the “Chang’e-6” to the back of the moon for sample return. This will be the first time in human history , is also the most complex lunar exploration mission in China’s history.

This launch is the first launch of the “Chang 5” rocket in 2024, the second space launch from the Wenchang Launch Site, the 9th launch in China and the 37th launch in the world.

On the 29th September 2023 the嫦娥六号; Change 6 Lunar Sample Return Mission onboard the  Chang Zheng – Long March Five Carrier Rocket modified announcement by CNSA – China National Space Administration China Wenchang spaceport launch, Change lunar series  Lunar probes… The National Space Administration announced today that the development of the lunar exploration project Chang’e-6 mission is currently underway as planned and is planned to be launched around 2024. At the same time, our country is accelerating the scientific project of the International Lunar Research Station, and hopes that more international partners will join in to jointly expand the boundaries of human cognition, contribute to the peaceful use of space, and promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.

On January 8th  2024 and 9th January, 2024, the detector products of the Chang’e-6 mission of the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project took the An-124 and Yun-20 aircraft respectively and arrived at Hainan Meilan International Airport. Transported by road to the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan Province, China, People’s Republic of China.. Subsequent test preparations before launch will be carried out as planned.

The Chang’e-6 mission will break through key technologies such as lunar retrograde orbit design and control, lunar back intelligent sampling, and lunar back take-off and ascent, implement automatic sampling and return on the lunar back, and at the same time carry out scientific exploration and international cooperation in the landing area.

At present, the launch site facilities are in good condition and all preparations are being carried out in an orderly manner as planned. Chang’e-6 is scheduled to be launched in the first half of this year.

　　According to arrangements, the Chang’e-6 mission will carry out sample returns from the far side of the moon. The 10 lunar sampling returns that humans have carried out so far are all located on the front side of the moon. The far side of the moon is generally older than the front side of the moon, and there is the Aitken Basin, one of the three major lunar terrestrial bodies, which has important scientific research value. The pre-selected landing area for the Chang’e-6 mission is located in the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon, with a view to discovering and collecting lunar samples from different regions and ages to enhance human understanding of the moon.
