A Smart Dragon 3 carrier rocket lifted off from the waters off East China's Shandong province on Wednesday, sending Oriental Smart Eye hyperspectral satellites 01 and 02 into the planned orbits. The rocket blasted off at 10:38 am (Beijing Time) from the sea near Haiyang. Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center conducted the offshore launch mission. #space#

China's Lijian-1 carrier rocket has successfully sent a total of 105 satellites into orbits with a cumulative payload mass exceeding 15 tonnes, following the launching of 8 satellites on Monday, making it the first commercial rocket model in China to have delivered more than 100 satellites into space, said its developer CAS Space.

China successfully launched a Tianzhou-10 cargo spacecraft atop a Long March-7 Y11 carrier rocket from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in south China's island province of Hainan on Monday.

At 12:15 on July 10, China’s Long March-10B carrier rocket blasted off from the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site and delivered satellites into their preset orbits as planned. Roughly six minutes after the separation of the rocket’s first and second stages, the first stage made a vertical return and was successfully captured via a net-capture system on an offshore recovery platform, marking the complete success of both the launch and first-stage recovery missions.This mission saw China pull off its first successful controlled recovery of a carrier rocket’s first stage, as well as the world’s first net-based recovery of a launch vehicle. 7月10日12时15分，中国长征十号乙运载火箭在海南商业航天发射场发射升空，将卫星顺利送入预定轨道，火箭一二级分离约6分钟后，一子级垂直返回，在海上回收平台通过网系捕获方式成功回收，发射及一子级回收任务取得圆满成功。这是中国首次成功实施运载火箭一子级可控回收，同时也是全球首次运载火箭网系回收。 #China# #长征十号乙运载火箭# #全球首次# #运载火箭网系回收#

China's commercial reusable launch vehicle sector continues to make steady progress, as a company announced on Friday that it had completed a long-duration test firing of an engine for a large recoverable carrier rocket. #SpaceChina#

The Chang'e 7, China's next robotic mission to the moon — tasked with searching for a trace of water on the silver celestial body — has been scheduled to set out on its journey soon. The combination of the Chang'e 7 lunar probe and the Long March 5 Y14 carrier rocket was transferred vertically on Wednesday to the launching area at the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in China's #Hainan# province. #LunarExploration# #TechChina#
