Zitat:China is to build a new family of rocket launchers designed to send space stations or heavyweight satellites into orbit, state media reported on Wednesday, in the latest expansion of its space programme.
The Long March 5 carrier rockets will be made in the northern port city of Tianjin, but will be launched from a new centre being built on the southern tropical island of Hainan, the China Daily newspaper said.
The sites were chosen to allow the rockets, which are too big to be transported by rail, to be moved by sea.
"They are expected to meet the demands of space technology development and peaceful use of space for the next 30 to 50 years," the newspaper quoted Wu Yansheng, president of the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, as saying.
"It will also give China the same launch capabilities as developed countries," he said, adding that the international commercial launch market was a lucrative one.
