China’s manned space program has taken another giant leap by launching a new generation manned spaceship with a new type of heavy rocket. The model, nine meters long, can hold seven astronauts. However, this mission didn’t include astronauts as it was only a test launch. The rocket is the fourth variant of the Long March-5 (LM-5) series. The LM-5B rocket has the biggest boost power in the Long March series. It can deliver no less than 22 tons of payload at a time to low-earth orbits (LEO), with its main focus on a 200-to 400-kilometer orbit near the Earth. The redesign features safety measures and a more comfortable living condition for astronauts. It will stay in space for two days making multiple automatic orbit maneuvers.
