Mission Profile

The Long March 10 (Chang Zheng 10, CZ-10, LM-10, 长征十号) is a planned two-stage Chinese heavy-lift launch vehicle in the Long March 10 family, China's crew-rated rocket designed to send astronauts to the Moon under the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program. Standing 92.5 m tall with a 5 m core diameter and a projected liftoff mass of 2,187 tonnes, it generates 26,880 kN of liftoff thrust and can deliver 70,000 kg to low Earth orbit. With a planned first launch around mid-2027, the Long March 10 will enable China's crewed lunar landing missions planned for around 2030, using two launches to assemble a lunar transportation stack in orbit.
