On February 11th, China successfully organized and implemented the low altitude demonstration verification of the Long March 10 carrier rocket system and the maximum dynamic pressure escape flight test of the Mengzhou manned spacecraft system at the Wenchang Space Launch Site.
In the live footage, the first stage of the Long March 10 carrier rocket did not land on the networked recycling platform, but instead splashed into the waters near the platform. Some netizens called this a "failure" of the mission.
According to Yuyuan Tan Tian, a new media account under CCTV, insiders involved in the launch mission stated that the planned theoretical landing point for this experiment was not originally a platform, but was specifically designed in the vicinity of a networked recycling offshore platform, taking into account factors such as recycling costs.
Insiders say that this demonstrates the precision of China's recycling technology, which can enable precise control of rocket landing points in the future.
It is understood that the Long March 10 series rockets are a new generation of manned carrier rockets developed by China specifically for manned moon landing and regular operation of space stations.
The Long March 10 series uses a universal core module with a diameter of 5 meters and a height of about 40 meters as the core module, equipped with 7 liquid oxygen kerosene engines, with a total thrust of about 1000 tons.
The rocket adopts a modular "building block" design concept, which can be flexibly combined with specialized modules according to different mission requirements. Currently, two configurations are planned: the lunar version and the near Earth version.
