China's Long March-12 Rocket Ready for Liftoff from New Hainan Spaceport 🚀
Hey space fans! 🌌 China's making waves again in the cosmos. On Tuesday, the Long March-12 Y1 carrier rocket rolled into the launching area at the brand-new commercial space launch site in south China's Hainan Province. Exciting times ahead! 🎉
The Hainan International Commercial Aerospace Launch Co., Ltd. announced that this sleek rocket is set to blast off \"at an appropriate time in the near future.\" 🔜 So, stay tuned for more celestial action!
What's the buzz about the Long March-12? 🤔 Well, it's China's first single-core stage liquid launch vehicle with a 3.8-meter diameter. Powered by six liquid oxygen-kerosene engines, this two-stage rocket is a beast ready to conquer the skies. 🌠
The commercial spaceport in Hainan is no less impressive. Construction kicked off in July 2022, and now it's the country's first launch site dedicated solely to commercial missions. 🚀🌏 This means more opportunities for space exploration and commercial ventures. How cool is that?
Get your telescopes ready, because the stars are about to get a little closer! 🔭✨
