二、2011年以來的主要進展

II. Major Developments Since 2011

2011年以來，中國航天事業(yè)持續(xù)快速發(fā)展，自主創(chuàng)新能力顯著增強，進入空間能力大幅提升，空間基礎設施不斷完善，載人航天、月球探測、北斗衛(wèi)星導航系統(tǒng)、高分辨率對地觀測系統(tǒng)等重大工程建設順利推進，空間科學、空間技術、空間應用取得豐碩成果。

Since 2011, China’s space industry has witnessed rapid progress manifested by markedly enhanced capacity in independent innovation and access to outer space, constant improvement in space infrastructure, smooth implementation of major projects such as manned spaceflight, lunar exploration, the Beidou Navigation System and high-resolution earth observation system, and substantial achievements in space science, technology and applications.

（一）航天運輸系統(tǒng)

1.Space transportation system

2011年以來，截至2016年11月，長征系列運載火箭共完成86次發(fā)射任務，將100多個航天器成功送入預定軌道，發(fā)射成功率達到97.67%，運載火箭的可靠性和高密度發(fā)射能力持續(xù)增強。中國最大運載能力新一代運載火箭“長征五號”成功首飛，實現(xiàn)中國液體運載火箭直徑從3.35米到5米的跨越，大幅提升“長征”系列運載火箭運載能力，低軌運載能力達到25噸級，高軌運載能力達到14噸級，成為中國運載火箭升級換代的重要標志。120噸級液氧煤油發(fā)動機完成研制，應用該型發(fā)動機的“長征六號”“長征七號”新型運載火箭實現(xiàn)首飛，“長征十一號”固體運載火箭成功發(fā)射，運載火箭型譜進一步完善。

From 2011 to November 2016, the Long March carrier rocket series completed 86 launch missions, sending over 100 spacecraft into target orbit with a success rate of 97.67 percent, indication of increasing effectiveness and high-density launching capability of carrier rockets. The Long March 5 (CZ-5), China’s newest generation of carrier rockets with a maximum carrying capacity, made its maiden flight, and increased the diameter of liquid fuel rocket from 3.35 m to 5 m, with a maximum payload capacity of about 25 tons to low earth orbit and about 14 tons to geostationary transfer orbit, significantly improving the carrying capacity of the Long March rocket family and becoming a symbol of the upgrading of China’s carrier rockets. The development of the 120-ton liquid oxygen and kerosene engine was test fired, which powered Long March 6 and Long March 7 on their maiden flights. The Long March 11, a solid-fuel carrier rocket, also made a successful maiden launch, further enriching the Long March rocket family.
