Long March 12 successfully launched
At 22:48 on November 30, the Long March 12 launch vehicle ignited and took off at the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site, successfully sending the satellite internet technology test satellite and technology test satellite 03 into the scheduled orbit. This was the first launch of the Long March 12. Several teams from Dalian University of Technology contributed to the successful launch. The "Liquid Rocket Engine Nozzles Digital Processing Technology and Equipment" developed by the Intelligent Manufacturing Technology and Equipment Research Group of the High-performance Precise Manufacturing Team of the School of Mechanical Engineering was applied to the 130-ton pump after-swing combustion cycle liquid oxygen kerosene engine to help the Long March 12 make its first flight. At the same time, the rocket launch platform load test system jointly produced by Teng Rumin's team from the School of Mechanical Engineering of Dalian University of Technology and related companies provided important experimental support for the launch platform. The Long March 12 was China's first four-meter-class launch vehicle. It was also the single-core launch vehicle with the largest capacity in China. Its maximum carrying capacity would reach 100 tons. It used advanced low-oxygen kerosene engine technology with high combustion efficiency, which saved energy and reduced environmental impact. This launch mission was not only the first launch mission of the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site, but also the debut of the Long March 12 launch vehicle.

Long March 6 launched successfully
The Long March 6 carrier rocket was successfully launched many times. For example, on September 20,2015, the Long March 6 was successfully launched at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center, sending 20 microsatellites into space; At 2:30 on September 6,2024, the Geely Constellation Group 03 satellite was successfully launched at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center; At 8:10 on October 22,2024, the Tianping-3 satellite was successfully launched at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. The Long March 6C launch vehicle successfully made its first flight at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center at 11:21 on May 7,2024. The Neptune 01, Zhixing 1C, wide-area optical satellite, and high-resolution video satellite successfully entered the scheduled orbit. The successful launch of these rockets proved the relevant technologies and improved the commercial competitiveness of China's launch vehicles.

Where was the Long March 10 rocket launched?
According to the current information, the Wenchang launch site would become the launch site of the Long March 10 rocket. Wenchang launch site was the only launch site in the country that could launch heavy rockets. Although there was a possibility of changes, as long as there were no accidents, the Long March 10 rocket should be launched here. The novel " Hundred Years of Spaceship " is equally exciting.

Tianzhou launched successfully
At 22:27 on January 17,2024, Tianzhou 7 was launched into the sky with the Long March 7 Yao 8 launch vehicle at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan. After the launch, it successfully separated from the Long March 7 Yao 8 launch vehicle and entered the scheduled orbit. The launch was a complete success. Tianzhou 8 would be launched in the middle of this month. The novel " Hundred Years of Spaceship " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
Tianzhou 8 successfully launched
Tianzhou 8 was launched at 23:13 on November 15,2024 at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan. The launch mission was a complete success. At 2:32 on November 16, about three hours after the launch, the Tianzhou-8 cargo spacecraft successfully docked at the backward port of the space station's sky and core module.

Long March 12 successfully made its first flight
The Long March 12 successfully made its first flight at the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site at 22:48 on November 30. The launch mission had multiple meanings: it was the first launch mission of the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site and the debut of the Long March 12 launch vehicle. This mission successfully sent the satellite internet technology test satellite and technology test satellite 03 into the scheduled orbit, marking the breakthrough of China's commercial space launch site from 0 to 1, filling the gap in China's commercial space. The Long March 12 launch vehicle adopted the simplest two-stage configuration and a four-meter single-core design. It had a total length of about 62 meters and a take-off mass of about 430 tons. The first stage used four liquid oxygen/kerosene engines (YF -100K engines) with a thrust of 1250 thousand Newtons, and the second stage used two liquid oxygen/kerosene engines with a thrust of 180 thousand Newtons. Its low-Earth orbit carrying capacity was no less than 12 tons, and the 700-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit carrying capacity was no less than 6 tons. It was the two-stage single-core rocket with the strongest capacity in China at present. It could adapt to the fairing of 5.2 meters and 4.2 meters diameter configuration according to the mission requirements, supporting single-star and multi-star launch in different orbits. The rocket's 3.8-meter-diameter tank was also a highlight. This was the first 3.8-meter-diameter liquid rocket in China. The larger diameter allowed the first-stage rocket to be equipped with four YF -100K engines, with a take-off thrust of more than 500 tons, and a 700-kilometer SSS capacity of no less than 6 tons. It became the most powerful "light rod" configuration rocket in China. At the same time, it also reduced the rocket's aspect ratio, which was helpful for the subsequent vertical recovery rocket research. The YF -100K engine was an upgraded version of the YF - 100 kerosene liquid oxygen engine, which provided power for China's new generation of liquid propellants. The launch showed that the engine was ready for use, which was of great significance to China's Long March 10 rocket (the first stage would use the YF -100K engine) and promote China's manned moon landing progress. The Long March 12 could also adapt to the "one flat and two vertical" and "three flat" test launch modes, which could greatly shorten the launch cycle and was very adaptable.

The Shenzhou 17 spacecraft was successfully launched
The Shenzhou 17 manned spacecraft was successfully launched at 11:14 on October 26,2023. After the Long March 2F Yao 17 launch vehicle carrying Shenzhou 17 was ignited and launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, about 10 minutes later, the Shenzhou 17 manned spacecraft successfully separated from the rocket and entered the predetermined orbit. The astronauts were in good condition and the launch was a complete success. The Shenzhou 17 spacecraft would dock with the space station and rotate in orbit. During their working life on the space station, astronauts would conduct multiple extraterrestrial activities and carry out various space science experiments and missions.
