en.Wedoany.com Reported - The combination of China's Tianzhou-10 cargo spacecraft and the Long March-7 Y11 carrier rocket is undergoing vertical transfer.

The Tianzhou-10 cargo spacecraft is the tenth vessel in China's Tianzhou series. Developed by the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST) under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), it has a total length of 10.6 meters, a maximum diameter of 3.35 meters, and a launch mass of approximately 14 tons. It is scheduled for launch in mid-May 2026 from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in China, docking at the aft port of the Tianhe core module. Its primary mission is to transport uplink supplies for astronauts, extravehicular spacesuits, maintenance spare parts, propellants, and various payload samples, as well as to carry out the downward disposal of in-orbit waste.

The Long March-7 Y11 carrier rocket is a member of the Long March-7 series, representing a new generation of medium-lift launch vehicles with high reliability and high safety. Carried by a mobile launch platform, it forms the spacecraft-rocket combination with the Tianzhou-10 cargo spacecraft and is vertically transferred along a dedicated rail track to the launch zone. The rocket uses liquid oxygen and kerosene engines as its propulsion power, features a stable technical state, and is designated to carry out this space station cargo resupply launch mission.
