China's new generation Long March-7 carrier rocket arrived at Wenchang, Hainan Province, on Saturday afternoon where it is scheduled for its maiden launch late June.
The rocket is now at Qinglan Harbor in Wenchang after a six-day journey by sea from Tianjin and will soon be taken to the Wenchang satellite launch center by road.
The Long March-7, a medium-sized rocket using liquid propellant, can carry up to 13.5 tonnes to low Earth orbit. It will transport cargo for China's planned space station and is expected to become a main carrier for space launches.
