Storyline


The Long March-4 rocket series will undertake 10 launch missions in 2019, setting a new record for the number of missions, chief commander of the Long March-4B and Long March-4C rockets said in Shanghai on Thursday.

After meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday in Beijing, space scientists and engineers with the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST), who participated in the research and development of the Chang'e-4 mission threw themselves in a new mission.

On Thursday morning, the chief commander and chief designers of the Long March-4 came to the rocket assembly workshop to inspect the assembly of rockets that will be launched this year.

China launched a relay satellite on May 21, 2018 to set up a communication link between the Earth and the Chang'e-4 lunar probe. And the satellite, named Queqiao (Magpie Bridge), was carried by a Long March-4C rocket, developed by the SAST.

"I'm very proud. The Long March-4 rocket series have completed more than 50 launch missions, and I have participated in over 30 of them. But it is the first time for me to participate in such a major national program," said Wang Yuping, deputy chief commander of the Long March-4B and Long March-4C rockets.

"This is also the first time for a Long March-4 rocket to enter Xichang Satellite Launch Center for a mission, especially when it's a mission with a new launch trajectory," said Wang Yijun, chief designer of the Long March-4B and Long March-4C rockets.

According to Fan Hongtuan, chief commander of the Long March-4B and Long March-4C rockets, the 10 launch missions this year will pose a challenge for the team.

"It is a challenge for us. Ten launch missions in two bases with short intervals of time. Of the 10 rockets, we have completed the assembly and tests of four," said Fan.
