China’s Latest Step to the Moon: Successful Test of Lunar Rocket’s First Stage!

“China’s Latest Step to the Moon: Successful Test of Lunar Rocket’s First Stage!”
China has just taken a massive leap toward landing astronauts on the Moon! On August 15, 2025, engineers fired the first stage of the Long March-10 rocket, igniting seven YF-100K engines at the Wenchang launch site on Hainan Island. For 30 powerful seconds, the engines generated nearly 1,000 tonnes of thrust, marking the largest ground static fire test in China’s history. This breakthrough proves the Long March-10’s design and brings the country closer to its goal of a crewed lunar landing by 2030. The Long March-10 is a 92-meter super-heavy rocket that will replace the Long March-2F and power future missions to the Moon. In this short video, we break down why this test matters, what it means for China’s lunar ambitions, and how it sets the stage for future exploration.
