China Successfully Launches Country's largest carrier rocket Long March-5

On December 27, 2019, China successfully launched the largest carrier rocket of the country, Long March-5, from Wenchang Space Launch Center in south China’s Hainan Province.
The rocket, also known as CZ-5, blasted off carrying an experimental communications satellite, Shijian-20, into geostationary transfer orbit.
It was the country’s third attempt to launch the rocket.
The first attempt on 3 November 2016 and second attempt on 2 July 2017, both failed due to an engine problem in the first stage.
CZ-5 is heavy lift launch system developed by China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT) and will open way for China’s planned Mars mission, lunar sample-return mission, and modular space station, all of which require the lifting capabilities of a heavy lift launch vehicle.
