China is expanding its family of Long March rockets as it increases the capability of its space program.
Long March 5, which suffered a test failure last month, and Long March 7 will be the powerful workhorses for China's big move into space. LM 7 will carry cargo to the nation's large space station, to be constructed around 2020, while the even more powerful LM 5 will launch the components of that station. LM 5 will also be able to launch substantial payloads to the Moon.
