Talk about a glow-up! China’s Long March rocket series just hit its 600th flight milestone, with the Long March-8A launching a batch of internet satellites into orbit. 🚀
These launchers are the workhorses behind China’s space ambitions. To date they’ve delivered nearly 1,400 spacecraft and handled over 86% of the Chinese mainland’s space missions.
According to the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, these rockets help fuel big projects—from manned spaceflights and the BeiDou navigation system to deep space exploration. 🌌
So what’s next? Think more satellites for global connectivity, next-gen space tech, and fresh missions that keep pushing boundaries. Stay tuned—space is just getting started! ✨
