China-Singapore Online, July 5th (Zheng Yingying, Guo Chaokai) On July 5th, Beijing time, China successfully launched the No. 6 02 star with the Long March No. 2 D carrier rocket at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. This is the "three days and two battles" of the Long March series of launch vehicles. On July 3, China used the Long March 4B carrier rocket at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center to successfully launch a high-resolution multimode integrated imaging satellite and the "Xibaipo" youth popular science satellite in a "one arrow, two stars" manner.

  It is reported that both rockets are "made in Shanghai". China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd. Shanghai Aerospace Technology Research Institute introduced that the Changzheng No. 2 D launch vehicle used on the 5th is a room temperature liquid secondary launch vehicle with a take-off thrust of about 300 tons, corresponding to the 700-kilo solar synchronous circular orbit carrying capacity It is 1.2 tons and has single or multi-satellite launch capability with different orbit requirements. The Changzheng No. 4 B launch vehicle launched on the 3rd is a normal-temperature liquid three-stage launch vehicle. It has a single satellite and multi-satellite launch capability for multiple satellites and different orbit requirements, corresponding to a 700-km solar synchronous circular orbit carrying capacity of up to 2.5 tons.

  The Long March series of rockets developed by Shanghai Aerospace General Manager roughly experienced three generations of development: the first generation was the Long March 4A carrier rocket that successfully flew on September 7, 1988, laying the foundation for its development; the second generation was the active Long March 2 D, The Long March 4B and Long March 4C launch vehicles are China's "high-quality launch vehicles" and "Gold Medal Rockets"; the third generation is the new generation launch vehicle Changzheng 6, etc.
