China's Long March-10 carrier rocket series has completed a fairing separation test that fully assessed issues in such areas as design, connection structure and separation strategy.
The China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT), which developed the carrier rockets, said on Wednesday that the fairing separated smoothly at the planned time and under predetermined conditions, and that all parameters tested met their design requirements. The test verified the rationality of the design, as well as interface coordination.
The results have validated the reliability of the entire system plan and provided valuable data for subsequent tests.
Fairing separation is a key action in the carrier rocket launch process. The success of the test is further solid progress in the sample development of the Long March-10 carrier rocket series.
The fairing is an important part of a launch vehicle and provides effective protection for spacecraft to avoid the adverse effects of high-speed airflow.
The Long March-10 carrier rockets are China's new generation of manned launch vehicles, which will help the country achieve its goal of landing astronauts on the moon by 2030.
The Long March-10 series has also passed several large-scale tests, including a sub-stage power system test, CALT said, noting that it will continue to verify the design of each system comprehensively.
The Long March-10 series has already completed significant tests, including a first-stage propulsion system trial.

Israeli military operations have affected hundreds of Palestinian families, with more than 2,000 civilians directly impacted in Hebron region in the West Bank, the official Palestinian News and Information Agency (WAFA) reported Sunday.
WAFA said the Israeli military has continued its operations and maintained a blockade in the Hebron region since Friday, resulting in the forced demolition and destruction of numerous Palestinian civilian and commercial facilities, as well as significant property damage.
The report said that on Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) forcibly demolished a residential building in western Hebron, used heavy machinery to destroy several commercial facilities and leveled thousands of square meters of surrounding agricultural land.
In addition, the IDF intensively installed various military roadblocks and closed iron gates, cutting off main roads and severely disrupting local supply chains and the movement of people, it said.
On the same day, Israeli Jewish settlers also leveled land belonging to Palestinian civilians in southern Hebron and set up tents in preparation for establishing an outpost for a Jewish settlement, according to WAFA.
It said the Hebron regional government announced on Sunday that several local cities would establish joint emergency operations centers operating 24 hours a day, mobilizing all available municipal resources to assist residents affected by the Israeli military operations. Local authorities are currently expediting the drafting of a legal document to be formally submitted to the International Criminal Court.
According to WAFA, incidents of the Israeli military destroying Palestinian civilian property and attacks by Israeli Jewish settlers also occurred in other parts of the West Bank.
The Israeli army used heavy machinery to level large swaths of land and forcibly uprooted dozens of olive trees in the midst of the harvest season in a Palestinian village west of Ramallah to build a road unilaterally planned by Israel leading to a nearby Jewish settlement, it said.
In a Palestinian village near Nablus, Israeli Jewish settlers attacked and detained several Palestinian farmers harvesting olives, forcibly transferring them to a nearby Jewish settlement, according to the news outlet.
