Launch Vehicles
The Long March (LM) launch vehicles developed by CASC have made over 290 flights, and are capable of sending spacecraft into LEO, SSO, GTO and Earth-Moon transfer trajectory. They have reached the world advanced level in reliability, safety and orbit injection accuracy. In recent years, the new-generation launch vehicles, including LM-5, LM-6, LM-7 and LM-11, have made their maiden flights successfully, greatly increasing China’s ability to access space. LM-5 has an LEO payload capacity of 25000 kg and a GTO payload capacity of 14000 kg.
