China's New 25 ton capacity Long March 5 rocket is on the launch pad and ready for November launch
China's largest carrier rocket, the Long March-5, will make its first trip into space in early November this year.
The rocket, which arrived at the Wenchang launch center in south China's Hainan Province in September, was transported to the launch area on Friday morning, after finishing final assembly and tests, said the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense (SASTIND ).
With the strongest carrying capacity in China, the rocket will receive functional examinations and further tests before launch.
According to the SASTIND, the Long March-5 integrates top space technologies, including non-toxic environmentally-friendly fuel and a highly stable controlling system, representing a landmark in the country's carrier rockets.
At a new coastal launch centre on the southern island of Hainan, China is now all set to launch its largest ever rocket, and in doing so more than double its launch capabilities.
The 800-tonne, 5-metre diameter Long March 5 was rolled out to the launch pad this morning for launch next week. The heavy-lift launch vehicle is capable of lifting a 25 tonne payload to low Earth orbit, making it comparable to the most powerful active rockets in the world such as the Delta-IV Heavy, Atlas V and Ariane 5.

China plans to use the Long March 5 to launch the core of a three-module, 60-tonne space station. The first space station launch by Long March 5 in 2018, and be completed in the early 2020s, including two experiment modules and a Hubble-class telescope that can dock for repairs.
Long March 5 will have six configurations with different launch capacities for various mission profiles and orbits, with engineers currently focusing on the two versions for the 2017 Chang’e-5 lunar sample return and space station modules
“The rockets utilise a universal modularised design which can be easily combined into new rocket variants for various missions,” says Professor Huang, at the same time improving reliability and launch preparation and lowering costs.
The kerosene, liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen fuels used are also much less toxic and polluting than the hydrazine rockets China has relied on for decades.
There are also unconfirmed suggestions that China is working on an uprated version of the Long March 5, which would be in the same class as the proposed Falcon Heavy being planned by SpaceX.
Before the Long March 9 comes online around 2030, this uprated launcher could allow China to get people on the Moon by using three launches and vehicle docking before leaving low Earth orbit.

China initiates country's first centimeter-level positioning system
(People's Daily Online) 15:40, November 02, 2016
China has launched its first centimeter-level positioning system, which can significantly improve the accuracy of its domestic navigation satellite system.
Kuilong, the new positioning system, is a crucial part of the country’s BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS). By calculating and analyzing data received from over 300 satellite navigation stations worldwide, the system can precisely calibrate orbit and clock errors, which are the main factors disrupting positional accuracy, according to China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) on Nov. 1.
CASC explained that the revised data will be sent to the satellite navigation terminal via five geosynchronous satellites and over 60 low-Earth orbit communication satellites, improving data accuracy to the centimeter level. The system will provide four data signals, respectively offering sub-meter, sub-decimeter, centimeter and aviation security-level services.
据介绍，夔龙系统通过计算从全球多达300个以上的多系统卫星导航参考站所获取的观测数据，对传统的卫星导航定位中对于定位精度影响较大的轨道误差、时钟误差等参数进行精密修正，并通过5颗地球同步轨道卫星和60颗以上的低轨通信卫星星座，向卫星导航终端播发相关修正参数，将卫星导航终端定位精度提高到“厘米级”。
夔龙系统提供ＯＳ，ＳＰ，ＧＰ，Ａｉｒ共4种数据信号，分别提供“亚米级、亚分米级、厘米级、航空安全级”服务。发布会介绍，随着夔龙系统建设及运营工作的逐步推进，我国工业界将拥有一把“以厘米为刻度感知世界的天尺”。

Sure their GSLV-3 is as big as CZ-5, it just that it had a crappy payload.

Formally launched in 1994, the BDS project is considered one of the world’s leading positioning systems, along with the Russian GLONASS system, European Galileo system and American Global Positioning System.
Currently, the new system is providing services to the Asia-Pacific region free of charge, covering the area between the latitudes of 55 degrees north and 55 degrees south, and the longitudes of 55 and 180 degrees east. Positioning accuracy is less than 10 meters, velocity accuracy is less than 0.2 meters per second, and timing accuracy is less than 50 nanoseconds, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
@AndrewJin , more news to feel overwhelmed.

off course they are at different league, What's wrong with that?Shijian 17

Nations ask to play part in space lab
By Zhao Lei (China Daily) 08:22, November 03, 2016
Many countries reach out as China prepares to put permanent station in service in 2022
Many nations have reached out to China, seeking to play a part in the country's future manned space station, a senior space industry official said Wednesday.
"We believe there is a wide range of fields suitable for such international collaboration and these prospective cooperation projects will have huge potential," said Fu Zhiheng, vice-president of China Great Wall Industry Corp, a State-owned enterprise that is the nation's only authorized firm for international space collaboration.
"In fact, we are in talks with some foreign countries in this regard," said Fu, who spoke with China Daily on the sidelines of the 11th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition in Zhuhai of Guangdong province.
"My company's Manned Space Cooperation Center works with the China Manned Space Agency and has been pushing forward with related efforts," he said. Fu did not name any of the nations involved.
China will start launching parts of its permanent manned space station starting in 2018 and put the space station into service around 2022, according to previous reports.
It will consist of three parts — a core module attached to two space labs, each weighing about 20 metric tons. A scaled model of the space station is on display at the six-day air show that opened on Tuesday in Zhuhai.
Meanwhile, the heavy-lift carrier rocket developed to launch the space station's modules, the Long March 5, is standing at Wenchang Satellite Launch Center in Hainan province waiting for its first trip into space.
China's manned space station is likely to become the world's only space station after the International Space Station is retired in 2024, Chinese space officials have said.
The International Space Station has worked in part as an orbiting laboratory for multidisciplinary research in areas including physics, medicine and space sciences.
China currently is conducting some cooperation projects with foreign space agencies, mainly concerning scientific and technological experiments onboard China's Shenzhou XI spacecraft and Tiangong II space laboratory, according to Fu. He did not say which agencies are involved.
Two Chinese astronauts are now aboard the combined Shenzhou XI-Tiangong II on a monthlong mission in space that started in mid-October.
Fu also noted that his company has received requests from other nations that hope China will help them train astronauts. He did not name the nations.
Yang Liwei, deputy director of China Manned Space Agency, previously said that China is open to cooperation with other nations in its future manned space station.
Chinese scientists have designed a number of devices or instruments in the planned space station that can be used for international cooperative projects. They also developed adapters to permit docking with other nations' spaceships, according to Yang, China's first astronaut in space.
In addition, he said China would be happy to help train astronauts from other countries and organizations and would also be glad to provide rides to foreign astronauts. Foreign astronauts who will have undergone training by Chinese experts will be welcome to work in the space station, he added.
"The result of including foreign participants in our space programs is not only that these nations can send their people to space but also that they will be able to develop their own space projects," Yang said.
