Test Satellite: Rocket and Chinese Astronauts

test satellite: The endeavor marks a significant leap forward since the carrier rocket's maiden mission in 2016 and through a failed attempt in 2017, according to Global Times China. Friday's flawless blast off was a confidence booster for the rocket's reliability and officially marked China's entrance into a new era of aviation technology. Standing at an impressive 57 meters tall and with a diameter of 5 meters, the rocket will send a test satellite into planned orbit. Chinese astronauts have nicknamed the rocket The Fat Five. Space exploration hinges on rocket thrust capabilities. The rocket can haul a 25-ton payload to low Earth orbit, 1.5 times more than the main Long March series. (news.financializer.com).
