China's Long March-10 carrier rocket series has successfully conducted a fairing separation test, addressing various critical aspects including design, connection structure, and separation strategy.
As the country’s next generation of manned launch vehicles, the Long March-10 rockets are pivotal in China's ambition to land astronauts on the moon by 2030.
On Wednesday, the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT), which is responsible for developing these rockets, reported that the fairing separated effectively at the designated time and conditions, with all tested parameters aligning with design specifications. This test affirmed the design's rationality and ensured proper interface coordination.
The outcomes of this test have confirmed the overall reliability of the system and provided essential data for future assessments.
Fairing separation is a critical step in the launch process of a carrier rocket, and the successful test marks significant advancement in the development of the Long March-10 series.
The fairing itself plays a crucial role in protecting the spacecraft against the detrimental effects of high-speed airflow.
During the recent test, the fairing's height and diameter were both five meters, representing a newly developed configuration, as mentioned by CALT.
Additionally, the Long March-10 series has successfully undergone several large-scale evaluations, including a test of its sub-stage power system. CALT indicated that further comprehensive verification of each system's design will continue.
