The new medium-lift carrier rocket sent five satellites into planned orbit, blasting off from the Wenchang launch site on the southern Hainan island at 12:37pm Beijing time on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>It measures 50.3 metres and has a take-off mass of 356 tonnes, and the China National Space Administration (CNSA) said it is of \u201cgreat significance for accelerating the upgrading of launch vehicles\u201d. The rocket\u2019s design was based on technologies developed for previous Long March editions,\u00a0<em>Xinhua<\/em>\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n<p>It is also expected to lay the foundation for development of large and heavy rockets, shortening development periods and reducing costs, said Song Zhengyu, the chief designer of the Long March-8.<\/p>\n<p>The five experimental satellites launched by the new rocket will conduct experiments in space science, remote sensing and communication technologies, said\u00a0<em>Xinhua<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Beijing has invested heavily in its space programme as a sign of its technological prowess and scientific endeavour.<\/p>\n<p>An unmanned Chinese spacecraft returned to earth last week with rocks and soil from the moon \u2014 the first lunar samples collected in four decades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BEIJING: China\u2019s new carrier rocket, the Long March-8, made its maiden flight on Tuesday,
