With the "high" of China's space industry, the long Erding Lange Rockets are "busy with work." In recent years, many "Internet celebrities" satellites have emerged in its "passengers", such as: dark matter particle detection satellite "Goku", quantum science experiment satellite "Mozi" and so on.

The "Passenger" it sent this time -a group of remote sensing 35 satellites, mainly used in scientific experiments, land and resources census, agricultural product estimation, and disaster prevention and mitigation. Although it is already the "old employee" in the rocket field, the long Erding Lange Rockets are still dedicated. For example, in order to adapt to the extremely harsh environment of the high temperature, rain, and thunderstorms in Xichang summer, "Long Erding" is improving the arrow structure prevention.
