The Tianzhou-2024 mission is the first launch mission of China's manned space program in <>. In the past few days, all the scientific and technological personnel of the Wenchang Cosmodrome have withstood the pressure of high-density space launch tasks in the new year, fought under pressure, fought continuously, and persevered, and have now organized and completed the test and refueling of the technical area of the Tianzhou-<> cargo spacecraft, the vertical assembly test of the Long March <> carrier rocket, the joint test of ships and arrows, and the vertical transfer of the combination. During the joint exercise, the participating systems were closely organized and cooperated closely to ensure that the procedures were carried out in an orderly manner.
It has been learned that this all-region joint exercise is a comprehensive simulation exercise with the largest number of participating systems and the most complete in the test system in addition to ignition and launch, and it is also the last joint exercise before launch.
"The launch of the Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft this time was the Long March-<> Yao-<> launch vehicle. After the first seven launches, the reliability of the Long March <> carrier rocket has continued to improve, the test and launch process has been continuously optimized, and the systems of the rocket, spacecraft and launch site are in good condition, and we are confident and determined to complete the launch mission. The leader of the Xichang Satellite Launch Center said.
