The Lijian-2 Yao-2 carrier rocket is transferred to the launch area

Today (26th), my country's independently developed Lijian-2 Yao-2 carrier rocket was transferred to a dedicated launch station at the Dongfeng Commercial Aerospace Innovation Test Zone and entered the critical preparation stage before launch. It will be launched in the near future.

Lijian-2 has a maximum carrying capacity of 12 tons. It can launch multiple satellites at one time and can also undertake launch tasks such as space cargo spacecraft. It is also my country's first launch vehicle to adopt the "universal booster core" configuration. It can combine three basically the same universal booster core stage structures like building blocks, which can not only improve the carrying capacity, but also facilitate mass production and reduce costs.

Li Qinfeng, deputy chief designer of the China Aerospace Lijian-2 launch vehicle: The final assembly and testing of the Lijian-2 Yao-2 rocket at the launch site have been completed, and it has now been transferred to the dedicated launch station. The rocket-ground interface and full-process drills will soon be carried out, followed by the filling of rocket propellant and the final launch process. The low-orbit constellation network launch mission will be carried out as planned.

Subsequently, Lijian-2 plans to use a multi-satellite method to carry out the large-scale launch mission of low-orbit constellations for the first time, further improving my country's low-orbit satellite constellation networking and launch capabilities.
