CHINA-PLA: SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH OF LONG MARCH 5B ROCKET WITH TWO PAYLOADS ON MAY 5
|
China successfully launched the Long March 5B rocket on May 5, 2020 and with it the insertion of the prototype new-generation crewed spacecraft into its planned orbit. A relatively less known fact is that the rocket carried not one but two payloads - aside from the new generation manned spacecraft, which has its own return capsule, there is also the prototype of a capsule of cargo return with an inflatable shield, designed by CASIC.
