Walking into the Wenchang launch site, the blue sea, blue sky, coconut breeze, science and technology workers are fully prepared for the upcoming Tianzhou IV cargo spacecraft launch mission. At present, the Long March 7 rocket and the Tianzhou 4 cargo spacecraft are carrying out assembly and testing work at the launch site as planned.

Chen Rijun, mission scheduler, Wenchang Launch Site Planning Division: Since the successful resumption of the flight of the Long March 5 Remote 3 rocket in 2019, we have entered a high-density mission period at the Wenchang Space Launch Site, and it has become the norm for us to work at our posts on holidays.
