China's space industry giant tests major component of carrier rocket model
China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp, a State-owned space industry giant, has recently conducted a test on a major component of its next-generation carrier rocket model, the Long March 10, which will play a crucial role in the nation's manned lunar expedition. China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, the major rocket maker in the nation and a CASC subsidiary, said in a news release on Wednesday that its engineers carried out a separation test of the Long March 10's payload fairing, the structure on top of a rocket that holds and protects the spacecraft contained inside it. The Long March 10 will be a family of launch vehicles and will mainly be tasked with launching the country's new-generation crewed spacecraft and the lunar landing module. China's roadmap for its first manned lunar expedition involves two Long March 10 launches from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan province to transport a landing module and a manned spacecraft to lunar orbit.
