At 8：43 p．m．Beijing time on November 3，accompanied by the thunderous roar of engines，a 57-meter-tall rocket pushed itself into the sky over Hainan Province．
An increasing number of Chinese rockets have been launched in the past few years，but this one was particularly significant．It was the first launch of the new Long March 5 rocket，which is much larger than previous versions of China’s carrier rockets．Its successful launch has pushed China to the forefront of the world in terms of rocket carrying capacity（容量，能力）．The heavy-1ift carrier rocket will enable China to build a permanent manned space station by 2022．
“China is developing very rapidly into one of the major space players，” says Brian Harvey，a space analyst and author of China in Space：The Great Leap Forward“ You will see the Chinese quite visibly begin to match the capacity of the other space powers．” “We are not satisfied with the achievements we have made in the fields of space technology．With the development of China’s space program，we are trying to make contributions to human knowledge about the universe．” says Wang Chi of the National Space Science Center．
For the next decade，the Tiangong Space Station will be China’s principal destination．Although not as large as the International Space Station，it will have a broadly similar capacity to perform scientific experiments．China also plans to land a small rover(探测车)on the far side of the moon in 2018，which will be a world first．Also in the advanced planning stages is a over to go to Mars．Additionally，designs for a Long March 9 rocket are being studied．With the first launch of the rocket due in 2025，China could very well be in a position to land astronauts on the moon by 2030．
