    This CASIC graphic goes into detail on the various Long March 5 
variants, including the 25 ton payload to low earth orbit, and 14 ton 
payload to geosynchronous earth orbit (the later is taller since it has 
an additional stage to reach the higher orbit).<br />
<br />
<br />
On sunny, tropical Hainan Island, China is assembling its 
largest-ever space rocket, the Long March 5.  Chinese authorities state 
that this LM-5 prototype will launch in early 2016 from the Wenchang 
Space Launch Center. The LM-5 is a 62-meter-tall, 800-ton rocket which 
can carry up to 25 tons into low Earth orbit, or a 14-ton spacecraft 
bound for Mars or the Moon. <br />
<br />

The assembly testing is a vital step in testing systems integration, 
on key parts like electrical equipment, sensors and connective valves.  
As a promising start for the LM-5's progress, its YF-100 engine will be 
first tested this year by the launch of the Long March 6 light space 
launch rocket (the medium Long March 7 space launch rocket also uses the
 YF-100).  Producing thrust up to 120 tons, the YF-100 uses liquid 
oxygen and kerosene as its propellants, providing a more environmentally
 friendly burn compared to current Chinese propellants.  The LM-5's 
diameter, a large 5 meters, would allow it to carry outsized loads like 
advanced spy satellites, Shenlong spaceplane and Shenzhou manned space 
capsules, as well as the modules for China's new Tiangong 2 space 
station.<br />

China's progress in building a large space rocket would boost its 
military and scientific space capabilities in significant ways.  As 
mentioned, the LM-5 would allow China to launch larger (and more 
effective) spy imaging satellites and unmanned spaceplanes.  But its 
heavy launch capability would also give Chinese scientists the means not
 only to send space probes, orbiters and rovers to just Mars and the 
Moon, but also beyond the asteroid belt to the gas giants and their 
mysterious moons.<br />

<b>Long March 5</b> (<b>LM-5</b>, <b>CZ-5</b>, or <b>Changzheng 5</b>) 
is a Chinese next-generation heavy lift launch system that is currently 
under development by China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT). 
Currently, six CZ-5 vehicle configurations are planned for different 
missions,<span style="color: red;"> with a maximum payload capacity of 25,000 kg to LEO and 14,000 kg to GTO</span>.
 The Long March 5 is planned to roughly match the capabilities of 
American EELV sized vehicles such as the Delta IV, Atlas V, andFalcon 9.
 First flight of the CZ-5 rocket will be no earlier than 2015 from 
Wenchang Satellite Launch Center on Hainanisland.<br />
