Chinese rockets to debut at Australian airshow

Xinhua, February 27, 2017 Adjust font size:

Models of Chinese rockets will debut at Australian International Airshow to be held in Avalon from Tuesday to Saturday, the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) announced Monday.

According to the CASC, 1:20 scale models of five Long March rockets will be displayed at the air show, the first overseas appearance of the new-generation Long March-5 and Long March-7 launch vehicles.

Long March carrier rockets are compatible with foreign satellites, said the CASC, adding that the rockets had provided commercial launch services for several countries including Laos and Belarus.

China now offers services such as exporting satellites, technology transfer, training and ground station construction. Endi
