China has successfully completed a low-altitude demonstration and validation flight of the Long March-10 launch vehicle system, a zero-altitude abort flight test for the Mengzhou spacecraft, and integrated landing and takeoff verification for the Lanyue lunar lander at the Wenchang Space Launch Site. This development marks a major milestone in China's crewed lunar exploration program, validating key flight, abort, recovery, and sea splashdown capabilities for new-generation rockets and spacecraft.
