TEDA-Made Long March-7A Carrier Rocket Launched
On November 3 at 22:54 (Beijing Time), the Long March-7A carrier rocket ignited and ascended from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site, successfully sending a communication technology experiment satellite No. 10 into its designated orbit. The Long March-7A carrier rocket, assembled at the Industrialization Base of China's Next-gen Launch Vehicles in TEDA, serves as the backbone of China's new generation of medium-sized carrier rockets. It boasts the capability to send one satellite or two major satellites at a time. It is capable of placing a 7-ton spacecraft to a geosynchronous transfer orbit. filling the gap in China's carrier rocket capacity for payloads ranging from 5.5 to 7 tons to high orbits. In this mission, the rocket underwent over 20 technological improvements, with more than 10 of them being implemented for the first time during its maiden flight. These improvements enhance the rocket's adaptability, reliability, and payload capacity.
Located in TEDA West, the Industrialization Base of China's Next-gen Launch Vehicles covers an area of approximately 2 square kilometers. It represents a new aerospace industry hub that integrates the production of rocket components, subsystem assembly, final assembly, testing, and trials, showcasing China's aerospace capabilities at an international level. This base is primarily responsible for the production of components and sections for China’s new generation large-sized carrier rockets, such as Long March-5, Long March-5B, and medium-sized carrier rockets like Long March-7, Long March-7A, and Long March 8, as well as the full assembly and testing of these rockets.
