The Long March Rocket is a series of expendable launch vehicles developed by China to transport payloads into space. It is operated by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and has been instrumental in launching satellites, crewed missions, and interplanetary probes since its first flight in 1970. The Long March family includes various models, such as the Long March 2, Long March 3, and Long March 5, each designed for specific missions and payload capacities. These rockets have played a crucial role in advancing China's space exploration efforts and supporting its growing space industry.
