Wenchang: China's new-generation manned carrier rocket, Long March-10, successfully completed its second static fire test at the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in Hainan province. This achievement marks a significant breakthrough in developing the initial prototype of the Long March-10 series, as announced by the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).

According to Namibia Press Agency, the test, conducted at 3 p.m., involved the simultaneous ignition of seven engines on the rocket's first stage. The procedure lasted for a total of 320 seconds, during which multiple test processes were completed. The primary focus was to evaluate the capabilities of the seven clustered engines for low-thrust operating conditions and secondary restart conditions, with complete test data obtained.

The CMSA confirmed that both planned static fire tests have now been completed, which comprehensively verified the design validity and reliability of the rocket's first-stage propulsion system. The tests also validated the working procedure for recovery, marking a successful milestone in China's space exploration endeavors.
