China's new-generation manned carrier rocket Long March-10 successfully completed a second static fire test on Friday at the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in the southern island province of Hainan. The move marks a breakthrough in developing the initial prototype of the Long March-10 series of carrier rockets, said the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA). At 15:00 Beijing Time, seven engines used on the test product of the rocket's first stage were ignited simultaneously. Following this procedure, multiple test processes were completed, with a total test duration of 320 seconds. This test focused on evaluating the capabilities of the seven clustered engines of the rocket's first stage for low-thrust operating condition and secondary restart condition, obtaining complete test data. The test was a complete success, according to the agency. Up to now, two planned static fire tests have both been completed. They have comprehensively verified the design validity and reliability of the rocket's first-stage propulsion system and the working procedure for recovery, according to the CMSA. The first such test took place on Aug 15, with the thrust scale reaching nearly 1,000 tons, marking the largest such test ever conducted in China. The Long March-10 carrier rocket series is developed to serve China's manned lunar exploration missions, including two configurations -- the Long March-10 rocket and Long March-10A rocket. The Long March-10 rocket is a type of three-stage rocket with two boosters. It has a diameter of 5 meters and a maximum height of 92.5 meters. It will undertake the launch missions of the manned spacecraft and the lunar lander. The Long March-10A is a type of two-stage reusable rocket, with a diameter of 5 meters and a maximum height of 67 meters. Its first stage can be recycled and reused. It will serve the launch missions of the Mengzhou manned spacecraft and Tianzhou cargo craft in the application and development phase of the country's space station.
