The recovered Long March 10A first stage has seven engine nozzles.
The campaign marked the first flight test of a Long March 10 prototype, the first Max-Q escape test for a crewed spacecraft in China, and the first sea splashdown of both a manned spacecraft return capsule and a rocket first-stage booster.
The Long March-10 continues the classic Long March rocket design.
A CZ-10 test stage splashed down in the ocean.
The dummy upper section on the Long March 10A test vehicle sheared off from the propellant tanks upon splashdown impact.
A prototype of the Mengzhou crew spacecraft was mounted on a prototype first-stage booster of the Long March 10 heavy-lift rocket and launched from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan province at 11 am local time.
The Long March 10A test vehicle included an upper section that was a dummy weight added to mimic the full height and mass of the first stage.
The Long March 10A test vehicle first stage was recovered.
As the Long March 10 booster climbed and approached Max-Q, the Mengzhou return capsule separated from the first stage and was rapidly pulled clear by an escape rocket mounted on top of the spacecraft.
While the capsule followed its escape and recovery profile, the Long March 10 first-stage booster continued ascent before its engines were temporarily shut down to allow the vehicle to coast on inertia.
The upper section of the Long March 10A test vehicle contained a dummy weight added to mimic the full height and mass of the first stage.
After crossing the Karman Line, the Long March 10 first-stage booster deployed grid fins and activated its reaction control system to manage attitude and prepare for controlled descent.
The splashed-down CZ-10 test stage has been recovered.
The recovered Long March 10A first stage was recovered from the sea.
China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology tilted the outer engines of the Long March-10 rocket by 2.5° relative to the center engine.
Near the splashdown site, a mobile recovery platform designed to support retrieval of Long March 10 reusable boosters simulated the full recovery sequence.
The test verified the first-stage ascent and recovery phases for the Long March 10 and demonstrated the Mengzhou spacecraft's Max-Q escape and sea recovery capabilities.
A CZ-10 (Long March 10) test stage is being recovered from the sea.
A recovery ship was standing very close to the Long March 10A first stage during the recovery operation.
The splashdown impact caused structural separation between the Long March 10A test vehicle's upper section and its propellant tanks.
