China prepares for tripleheader rocket launch this month.

Chinese commercial launch company Space Pioneer is preparing for its first attempt to reach orbit with its Tianlong 2 rocket, which uses a kerosene and liquid oxygen propellant mix. If successful, it will be the first Chinese commercial firm to reach orbit with a liquid propellant rocket. The rocket is designed to lift 4,400 pounds to low Earth orbit or 3,300 lbs. to a 310-mile-altitude sun-synchronous orbit. Space Pioneer is also developing a larger Tianlong 3 rocket to compete with SpaceX's Starlink satellites.
