The test in Beijing was conducted in preparation for the rocket's first flight in 2016. The most powerful rocket yet takes the country a step closer to its space dream. "The system's current status is basically the same as it would be on a future flight. It marks a key technological breakthrough and it's ready for the scheduled flight test," Lou Luliang, deputy chief designer of Long March-5 Rocket, said. The Long March-5 Rocket is capable of sending payloads of 25 tons into low Earth orbits, three times more than previous rockets. That means it could send 16 cars into space at one time. "By sending modules separately, we will finally build a space station of over 60 tons," Yang Hujun, deputy chief designer of Long March-5 Rocket, said. The Long March-5 rocket could also send heavier probes to the moon. "The third stage of China's lunar exploration program, which is to return lunar samples back to the Earth, will also rely on the Long March-5 Rocket," Yang said. Behind the significant increase in payload is a non-toxic, non-polluting liquid propellant. It's a combination of liquid oxygen and hydrogen, offering the highest specific impulse of rockets than any known propellant. Currently only the US and Europe have similar power systems. "This is the last test of Long March-5's power system before its maiden flight. It means China's utilization of hydrogen has entered the application process," Li Hong, dean of China Academy Of Launch Vehicle Technology, said. The rocket's first flight is scheduled for April next year. And there's no stopping there, as scientists continue to design carrier rockets with ever higher payload capacities. 本栏目更多同类内容 扫码关注和谐英语微信公众号,第一时间获取最新学习资料 或公众号搜索myhxen 上一篇 韩国艺人Rain参演中国戏剧 下一篇 新战略促进北京旅游产业 相关文章 中国的新的在线地图服务系统投入使用美韩举行核动力航母参演的联合军演NBA季前赛-火箭上海胜鹈鹕百度在加利福尼亚测试自动驾驶汽车什么让火箭如此特别?中国自主最大固体火箭发动机点火成功中国的生态系统变得更健康NBA季后赛:火箭险胜勇士1-2互联网技术 新系统提升效率奥巴马:美国有动力打击ISIS
