WNAM REPORT: China’s new-generation medium-sized rocket, the Long March-8 (CZ-8), was successfully transferred to the launching area at the country’s first commercial space launch site in Wenchang City of south China’s island province of Hainan Sunday afternoon. It is now ready to be launched at an appropriate time to be determined in the coming days.

The rocket has been developed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC). It adopts green and environmentally friendly liquid propellant. It conducted a successful full rehearsal in early November this year.

At 1:44 p.m., the rocket was transferred to the No. 1 launch pad at the Hainan Commercial Spacecraft Launch Site.

Construction of the No. 1 launch pad started in July 2022 and finished on December 29, 2023.

The launch of Long March-8 marks the inaugural event for the No. 1 launch pad, serving as a further capability test of the launch site following its first successful launch mission.

A Long March-12 carrier rocket was successfully launched into space on November 30 in what was the launch site’s maiden mission.

China’s commercial space industry expanded from 800 billion yuan (about $110 billion) in 2019 to 1.9 trillion yuan in 2023. The market scale is expected to reach 2.34 trillion yuan by the end of 2024, according to an industry report.
