Long March 8

Long March-8 (code: CZ-8) is a new generation of medium-sized low- and medium-orbit two-stage liquid strap-on launch vehicle developed by China.

The first substage of the Long March 8 rocket uses liquid oxygen/kerosene as propellant and uses two YF-100 engines with a thrust of 120 tons. The second sub-stage uses liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen as propellant and adopts two YF-75 engines with 8-ton thrust, which has the ability to start twice; Two 2.25-meter-diameter liquid boosters are bundled, using liquid oxygen/kerosene as propellant, each using a 120-ton thrust YF-100 engine. The total length of the rocket is 50.3 meters, the diameter of the first stage of the core is 3.35 meters, the diameter of the second stage is 3 meters, the diameter of a single booster is 2.25 meters, and the take-off mass of the rocket is about 356 tons, which is mainly used for launching low-earth orbit or sun-synchronous orbit payloads, and can send 5 tons of payload into 700 kilometers of sun-synchronous orbit. The Long March-8 is a cost-effective and safe launch vehicle, targeting the commercial launch market and becoming one of the main forces of China's commercial rockets, providing more internationally competitive commercial satellite launch services. The Long March-8 rocket will effectively drive and lead the development of China's medium- and low-orbit satellites to meet the needs of future medium- and low-orbit high-density launch missions.

This project is a restoration of the Long March 8 and is equipped with a simple communication satellite, so you can freely mix and match your payload
