Here it comes! Light rod type "Long March 8" carrier rocket unveiled!
This morning, the "Long March 8" Yao-2 carrier rocket carried out a vertical transfer activity, and the rocket was safely transferred to the launch tower. It will launch 22 satellites at 10:30 a.m. Beijing time on February 27.
The light rod type of "Long March 8" Yao-2 rocket is different from the previous "Long March 8" Yaoyi rocket. The Long March 8 Yao'er removed two boosters and replaced the fairing with a shorter length, which was close to the 4.2-meter diameter fairing of the "Long March No. 3 B". The second stage rocket has a diameter of 3 meters and is equipped with two double-pendulum YF75 hydrogen-oxygen engines with a single thrust of 8 tons.
Don't underestimate the light rod type of "Long March 8", its take-off mass of 201 tons, take-off thrust of 240 tons, its 700 km sun-synchronous orbit capacity of 3 tons, is the strongest existence among China's active single and secondary rockets. #Military Fun Science # #科普有料 #
