The Long March 10 is a clean-sheet heavy-lift rocket design tailored specifically for deep-space exploration and lunar missions.
A recovery ship was positioned very close to the Long March 10A first stage splashdown.
The first stage of the Long March 10A rocket splashed down in the ocean.
The CZ-10 stage VT splash-down test was successful.
The Long March 10A first stage involved in the Mengzhou launch had grid fins and hooking arms installed.
China's Long March 10 heavy-lift rocket has not yet flown.
The CZ-10 first stage test flight will include a proper reentry phase.
The Mengzhou Max-Q abort test and CZ-10 stage test flight are at T-12 hours.
China's crewed lunar architecture uses a two-launch profile in which one Long March 10 inserts an unmanned Lanyue lander into lunar orbit and a second booster later launches the Mengzhou crew vehicle to rendezvous and dock with the lander about 380,000 kilometers from Earth.
The CZ-10 test vehicle has external hooks that include a locking mechanism which engages once the hook catches the cable.
The CZ-10 test vehicle bears the flag of China on its first stage.
The splashdown landing zone for the CZ-10 stage test flight is about 365 kilometers from the launch site.
The CZ-10 test vehicle is composed of a static fire stage at the bottom, an interstage, a gridfins-and-hooks stage, and the Mengzhou spacecraft.
CZ-10 test vehicle includes an inter-stage above the static fire stage.
CZ-10 test vehicle includes a stage with gridfins and hooks above the inter-stage.
CZ-10 test vehicle includes a Mengzhou section at the top.
After the tarp removal the Mengzhou capsule and its abort system were placed atop the modified Long March 10A test booster without a dummy service module or a boilerplate second-stage.
The integrated Mengzhou capsule and Long March 10A test booster were placed on a mobile launch platform and rolled onto Launch Complex 301.
The autonomous Long March 10 series booster catching ship Linghangzhe will be positioned within the restricted area for a potential booster catch of the test booster following outfitting in January and delivery in November 2025.
CZ-10 test vehicle includes a static fire stage at the bottom.
