Every Chinese Rocket Design Explained!

China is now the number one nation in terms of rocket launches, with most of its launchers tracing their design heritage back to the Dong Feng 5 ICBM.
This includes the Long March 2, 3 & 4 - all propelled by YF-20 family Engines burning UDMH & NTO
The Newer Long March 5,6 &7 all use new cryogenic propulsion systems.
Long March 11 is a solid rocket based system.

He misspoke at 3:21, when he says: “The Feng Bao made 8 orbital launch attempts over its career, with only 8 of them being successful”.
He meant to say 11 attempts with only 8 successful.

Of course YF is correctly pronounced: 液体发动机


DUH!

"Is everybody keeping up?" Man, I lost it right after Long March 2F, trying to process this wall of data

[RubenKelevra]

3:21 only 8 of 8 attempts successful? 🤔

[IOwnThisHandle]

3:21 It made 8 orbital launch attempts with only 8 of them being successful? That failure of a rocket only achiving 100% launch successfulness

[Ghostread]

3:22 wait 8/8 that's pretty good.

Thank your Scotty, I'm a Chinese rocket fan learning the Chinese rocket knowledge through an American fan....

Love the fact that you're doing these types of videos. Would be awesome if you could a similar video on Europa through Ariane 1-6, the indian SLV->ASLV->PSLV->GSLV Mk2/2+/3 or a "History of" type video like you did for Atlas and Delta. I mean who wouldn't want a 15-20min long video of the history of the Titan family.

The Chinese Space Program is a bit like if the US kept every version of the Atlas ever build in servies to this day

Now I see why you needed to take a break from this and play Kerbal.

As a chinese, what i know about our rockets is that they are all long march 长征, some are huge and tall, some are small and short

It's weird. When I first subbed to this channel it was shortly after a friend of mine introduced me to KSP and subsequently to Scott. I started watching the KSP vids that had to do with realistic physics concepts and real life astro things, that led me to watch the videos that are straight up just physics. Now the channel is mostly talking about rocket designs, reactors, motors, space news and whatnot and I still watch every video. Also I ended up discovering Frasier Cain through Scott (can't remember how). I'm not a physicist and certainly no astronomer (chemistry undergrad), but I love watching these. Scott explained how the Chernobyl reactor worked in a way that I understood and can actually relay to others.

Absolutely wonderful and faithful video. One small detail: it would've been helpful to include "Long March" titles in-between rocket family transitions just in order to give some extra level of awareness to the viewer.

[ropersonline]

3:21: "The Feng Bao made eight orbital launch attempts over its career with only eight of them being successful."
Come again?

Long March 5 just had its first completely successful launch yesterday (Dec 27, 2019), capable of delivering 25, 000 kg to LEO and 14, 000 kg to GTO

One Space, Two Space, Red Space, Blue Space

[sidiliang]

Great video! I just want to add that the LM-5 Y3 just launched successfully yesterday with live coverage. Many more LM-5 coming up in 2020!

While it would suck at the time, having a rocket land on your house would make pretty cool story a few years down the road.

Previously, every rocket needed to be modified to fulfill the requirements of each mission, so there were tons of types, the CZ-7 was originally called CZ-2/HF, "HF" means change engine, some of the CZ-5 designs was shifted to CZ-7 due to its core stage diameter. The bad naming issue could be ended up in these new series of rockets been developing. I'm happy to see that CASC started to use digits which refers to the stage number, booster number sth. like that to name the rockets' sub types.
