A three-core variant of the Long March 10 is planned to launch the "Mengzhou" crew spacecraft into trans-lunar orbit.
The Long March 5 serves as the basis for the under-development Long March 10, which will use upgraded YF-100 kerosene-liquid engines and three five-meter-diameter cores.
Long March 10 is intended to launch crew to the moon and will have a potentially reusable first stage.
China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation has reported progress on testing 130-ton-thrust kerosene–liquid oxygen engines for the Long March 10 family.
A pair of three-stage, triple-core Long March 10 variants rated to deliver 27,000 kg to trans-lunar injection will be used to launch the landing stack and crewed segments of China’s lunar landing mission.
China’s Wenchang spaceport is being expanded to host commercial launches and to serve as the site for the in-development Long March 10 and the larger Long March 9 rocket.
The China Manned Space Agency is developing a new generation manned carrier rocket designated Long March 10.
China is developing the Long March 10 with a potential first flight around 2027 and a profile that could send a crew to the lunar surface with a pair of launches before the end of the decade.
