China Successfully launched Zhongxing 4A satellite with Long March 7A rocket

TapTechNews August 22nd news, at 20:25 today, China used the Long March 7A carrier rocket at the Wenchang Space Launch Site to successfully launch the Zhongxing 4A satellite into the air, and the satellite smoothly entered the predetermined orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.

According to the introduction, this satellite can provide users with voice, data, and radio and television transmission services. TapTechNews inquiries learned that this mission is the 532nd flight of the Long March series of carrier rockets.

Public information shows that the Long March 7A rocket is a three-stage rocket developed by the First Research Institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. It is mainly used to launch geosynchronous orbit satellites. It is 60.1 meters in total length, the diameter of the core first stage and core second stage is 3.35 meters, the diameter of the core third stage is 3 meters, the diameter of the booster is 2.25 meters, the takeoff weight is about 573 tons, and the geosynchronous transfer orbit carrying capacity is not less than 7 tons. At the same time, it has the high-orbit launch capabilities such as the zero-inclination orbit and the lunar orbit. It is the first bundled rocket in China where the booster and the core first stage are separated in a clustered manner.

This type of rocket adopts the design concept of universalization, serialization, and modularization, which is conducive to batch production of rockets and lays the foundation for high-quality, high-efficiency, and high-benefit development, and supports the high-density launch of rockets in the future.
