On the Morning Hour Hong- Kong SAR – Beijing time CNSA –China National Space Administration   On 15th January 2024, the combination of the Long March 7 Yao 8 carrier rocket and天舟七号the Advance cargo spacecraft was vertically at the Wenchang Space Launch Site, Hainan Province China, Peoples Republic of China transported to the Wenchang launch complex  standing by in readiness to launch towards the Tiangong –China Space Station..

天舟七号 Chang Zheng – Long March 7 Carrier Rocket  with the Advance Tianzhou cargo spacecraft launch mission was a complete success……  At 22:27 on January 17, 2024, Hong Kong SAR-  Beijing time, the Long March 7 Yao 8 launch vehicle carrying the Tianzhou 7 cargo spacecraft was ignited at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in China. About 10 minutes after the launch, the Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft successfully separated from the rocket and entered the predetermined orbit. Afterwards, the spacecraft’s solar panels were deployed smoothly, making the launch a complete success. In the future, the Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft will rendezvous and dock with the space station assembly in orbit.



The Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft was loaded with consumables, propellants, application experimental equipment and other materials for the astronauts to stay in orbit, and sent “new year goods” for the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon to the Shenzhou-17 astronaut crew.

This mission is the fourth launch mission since my country’s manned space project entered the space station application and development stage. It is the 31st launch mission since the project was established and implemented. It is also the 507th flight of the Long March series of launch vehicles

【Complete combination!  The Advance Tianzhou 7  cargo spacecraft and the China space station assembly completed the rendezvous and docking]

The Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft successfully completed the status setting after entering orbit, and successfully docked with the space station Tianhe at 01:46 on January 18, 2024, Beijing time Core cabin aft port. After the rendezvous and docking is completed, Tianzhou-7 will transfer to the combined flight phase. Subsequently, the Shenzhou 17 astronaut crew will enter the Tianzhou 7 cargo spacecraft and carry out cargo transfer and other related work as planned……

The Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft carries more than 260 pieces of cargo, and the total weight of the transported materials is about 5.6 tons. Among them, 2.4 tons of daily necessities were delivered to the astronaut crew, including Spring Festival goods for the Year of the Dragon, fresh fruit and vegetable gift packages, etc.

[Tianzhou-7 ship-rocket assembly transferred to launch area]

 According to the China Manned Space Engineering Office, on January 12, 2024, Beijing time, the Tianzhou-6 cargo spacecraft successfully evacuated the space station assembly and entered the independent flight stage. On January 15, the Tianzhou-7 ship-rocket assembly will be transferred, and the assembly will enter the launch area in a vertical transfer manner. Follow the live broadcast and cheer for China Aerospace.

At around 08:00 on January 15, 2024, the movable launch platform carrying the “Tianzhou 7” cargo spacecraft and the “Long March 7” Ya8 launch vehicle combination was launched from the Wenchang launch site vertical assembly test plant at 10:40 After arriving at the launch area, the “Tianzhou-7” launch mission entered the refueling launch stage.

At present, the facilities and equipment at the Wenchang Space Launch Site are in good condition. Various functional inspections and joint tests before launch will be carried out as planned. The launch is planned to be carried out in the near future

The “Tianzhou 7” spacecraft is the second batch of products in the “Tianzhou” series of cargo spacecraft. A total of 6 spacecrafts from “Tianzhou 6” to “Tianzhou 11” were developed and produced in this batch. “No. 7” is the second spacecraft among them. “Tianzhou 7” is an improved cargo spacecraft of “Tianzhou”, with cargo space and load capacity further improved. Its pressurized cargo hold has a loading volume of 22.5 cubic meters, a loading capacity of 6.7 tons, and the cargo loading capacity of the entire ship reaches 7.4 tons. , the upward cargo load ratio is 0.53.

After entering the launch area, the “Tianzhou-7” mission ship rocket will complete various launch preparations represented by the joint training of the whole area, and then add propellant and enter the ready-to-launch state. It is expected that at about 22:00 on January 17, the “Tianzhou-7” spacecraft will be launched from the 201 station of the Wenchang launch site by the “Chang-7” Yao-8 rocket. The spacecraft will use the rapid rendezvous and docking mode to ascend and dock with the Chinese Space Station. Tianhe’s core cabin has a rearward port.

The “Tianzhou-7” mission is the sixth cargo launch mission of the space station mission. It is also the first launch mission of China’s manned space project in 2024, and the world’s manned space launch mission will also kick off.

“Careful organization and implementation to ensure complete success”

At this moment, the Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft and the Long March-7 Ya8 launch vehicle and arrow assembly are being transported vertically to the launch area. ​​​

[New Commander 01 at Wenchang Space Launch Site] In the Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft mission, He Hongye will serve as Commander 01. This will be his first time holding the position of Commander 01, and he will also become the first manned commander in history. He is the fourth 01 commander in the space launch mission and the third 01 commander in the Tianzhou cargo spacecraft launch mission.

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.
