The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) is the main contractor for the Chinese space program. It is state-owned and has a number of subordinate entities which design, develop and manufacture a range of spacecraft, launch vehicles, strategic and tactical missile systems, and ground equipment. It was officially established in July 1999 as part of a Chinese government reform drive, having previously been one part of the former China Aerospace Corporation. Various incarnations of the program date back to 1956.
Good luck with this one CASC.
Perfect launch conditions we guess there will be no launch video footage never mind and all the very best for a successful launch .
A quote from the late great Albert Einstein:
‘Weak people revenge,
strong people forgive,
intelligent people ignore”.
