Long March 10
Overview
Partially reusable super-heavy-lift rocket for the crewed lunar program, designed to separately launch the Mengzhou spacecraft and Lanyue lander to trans-lunar injection.
Completed a successful low-altitude flight and Mengzhou abort test on February 11, 2026. The single-stick, partially reusable cargo/LEO variant (Long March 10B) flew its maiden mission on July 10, 2026 and recovered its first stage in a sea-based net - China's first orbital booster recovery - with a reflight of that same booster targeted before the end of 2026, not yet flown as of September 14, 2026. Neither the Long March 10A satellite debut nor the uncrewed Mengzhou 1 capsule test had flown as of September 14, 2026. The triple-core crewed variant is targeted for 2027, aiming at a crewed Moon landing before 2030.
