China's Long March-5B carrier rocket arrived at the launch site in the southern Hainan Province Wednesday after a week of ocean and rail transport, according to the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
The rocket will take part in a joint rehearsal with the prototype of the Chinese space station's core module at the Wenchang Space Launch Center. It is scheduled to make its maiden flight and launch the prototype of China's new manned spaceship in April.
The Long March-5B is a modified version of Long March-5 rocket and will be China's first 1.5-stage large carrier rocket, according to Wang Jue, chief commander of the Long March-5 rocket.
"The Long-March 5B rocket is developed on the foundation of the Long March-5 rocket. It will mainly be used for launching different cabins of our country's space station. This maiden flight of the Long March-5B rocket is aimed at testing its functions," said Hao Chun, director of the China Manned Space Engineering Office.
The rocket is 53.7 meters long, with a diameter of five meters and a liftoff weight of 849 tonnes. It uses pollution-free propellant including liquid oxygen, liquid hydrogen and kerosene. It has a carrying capacity of more than 22 tonnes in low-Earth orbit. It has the largest carrying capacity in low-Earth orbit among all Chinese rockets.
"We've planned for 12 missions so as to complete the construction of our space station by 2022. During this period, we have missions of launching different cabins of the space station, as well as manned spacecraft and cargo spacecraft. The missions require strong implementation," said Hao.
