China on Wednesday successfully conducted a low-altitude demonstration and verification flight test of its Long March-10 carrier rocket and a maximum dynamic pressure abort flight test of its new-generation crewed spacecraft Mengzhou.

The flight tests were carried out at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in south China's Hainan Province, marking major breakthroughs in the country's crewed lunar exploration program. The mission featured several firsts and highlights, including a new rocket model, a new crewed spacecraft, a newly built launch pad and new at-sea recovery missions for both the rocket and the spacecraft.
