China successfully launched the Long March 7 rocket on June 25 along with a prototype crew capsule serving as the first-ever rocket launch for the nation. The launch happened in a new Wenchang Satellite Launch Center, on the island of Hainan, at 8 a.m. Eastern Time.
The Long March 7 rocket placed scale models of future spacecraft and payloads into the Earth's orbit. According to Chinese officials, it basically demonstrated cleanup technology for space waste, potential satellite refueling site and other helpful advances. The Long March 7 was powered by eco-friendly fuel such as kerosene and oxygen.
The rocket stands 53 meters tall and approximately 597 metric tons during liftoff. According to the Chinese Manned Space Engineering (CMSE), the Long March 7 has the capacity to send 13.5 tons of payloads into the low Earth orbit.
The picture of the Long March 7's successful deploy was proof of China's success and continues to prove that China's planned development of a service crewed space station is scheduled to run by early 2020, Space News reported. The test launch was to determine the efficacy of the rocket as well as the launch facility, Wenchang. By using an equipment known as the LOX/Kerosene engine, the rocket is a pollution-free vehicle that has the ability to enhance China's space capacities without hazardous effects of launching fumes leading to the hopeful operation of the Chinese space station set on 2022.
The Long March 7 rocket was seen to have released its parachute landing in the northern part of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region a little over 10 minutes from its initial launch, Space reported. The Chinese has high hopes for a future space opportunity and the Long March 7 has proven satisfactorily. The successful launch, according to experts, has proven that China is on the right track in terms of space abilities and opens new doors for this nation as it continues to astonish the world with breakthrough technology.
