Description
The Long March 10A is a human-rated launch vehicle designed to replace the current Long March 2F, along with the Low Earth Orbit version of China's Mengzhou crewed spacecraft, as their new Low Earth Orbit crew missions launcher. It is based on a single 1st stage core of the Long March 10, with 7 YF-100 series kerosene/liquid oxygen staged-combustion cycle engines on the 1st stage and 1 on the 2nd stage. The 1st stage is designed to be recovered downrange by a recovery barge equipped with an arrestor net and support frame, with the 1st stage landing on the net’s cables using its grid fins.
