The tested Long March 10 fairing is 5 m in diameter and 5 m high.
China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology performed a static fire test of a Long March 10A first stage test article in June 2024.
The new generation crew spacecraft for Long March 10 is designed to carry 4 to 7 astronauts.
The Long March 10A for low Earth orbit will be capable of lifting 14,200 kg to LEO when recovering the first stage.
The Long March 10 is built on the heritage of the Long March 5 and is designed to be more capable to enable crewed lunar missions.
The Long March 10 lunar variant will be 92 m long and will be able to launch 27,000 kg into trans-lunar orbit.
A model of the single-core Long March 10A crew launch rocket is being unveiled at the Zhuhai Airshow opening 2024-11-12.
Two Long March 10 launches are planned to carry astronauts to the moon and back, one launching the Mengzhou crew spacecraft and the other launching the Lanyue lunar lander stack.
CALT performed a successful static fire test of a Long March 10A first-stage test article in June 2024.
China plans a three-core Long March 10 lunar variant that will be 92 m long and able to launch 27,000 kg into trans-lunar injection.
The Long March 10 is being developed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology under main space contractor China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
The Long March 10A will be 66.4 m long when configured to launch cargo missions to the Tiangong space station.
China has initiated a plan to land a pair of astronauts on the moon by 2030 using two Long March 10 rockets.
China completed the prototype production and ground tests of the Long March 10 rocket, the spacecraft Mengzhou, the lunar lander Lanyue, lunar landing spacesuits, and a crewed lunar rover as part of planned development activities.
The planned mission will use one Long March 10 to launch a crew spacecraft named Mengzhou and a separate Long March 10 to launch a landing stack with a lander named Lanyue.
