Storyline

Chinese engineers have been busy running general assembly tests on two Long March-2 F carrier rockets which will serve to launch the Tiangong-2 orbiting space lab in the near future.

Liu Feng, deputy chief designer of Long March-2 F carrier rocket with the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, said engineers have to run thorough tests on the two rockets before they leave for the launching site in the beginning of August.

"Every part has to run final assembly test including docking of engine, channel and boxes. We run the tests on the ground in advance to ensure there wouldn't be any problems at the launching site," said Liu.

Although Long March-2 F carrier rocket is a veteran which has completed 11 launching missions, engineers upgraded some systems and components to better serve this upcoming mission.

"We made lots of improvements in detail. We upgraded about 80 items of the two rockets to further improve their reliability," said Liu.
