I-China izohlola amarokhethi ayo alandelayo e-Smart Dragon emkhathini ukuze asetshenziswe ngokuhweba ngo-2020 nango-2021. Isikhungo sezindaba esisemthethweni iXinhua sibike lokhu ngeSonto. Njengoba ukukhula okulindelekile kokusatshalaliswa kwesathelayithi kukhuphuka ngesivinini, izwe lihlanganisa imizamo yalo kule ndawo.
I-China Rocket (uphiko lwenhlangano yezwe i-China Aerospace Science and Technology) imemezele lokhu ezinyangeni ezimbili ngemuva kokwethulwa kwerokhethi yayo yokuqala esebenziseka kabusha, i-Smart Dragon-23 yamathani angama-1 (), eyethula amasathelayithi amathathu ku-orbit. I-China ibheke ukutshala izinkanyezi zamasathelayithi ezentengiselwano angahlinzeka ngezinsizakalo kusukela ku-inthanethi enesivinini esikhulu ezindizeni ukuya ekulandeleleni ukuthunyelwa kwamalahle. Imiklamo yerokhethi esebenzisekayo izokwenza kube nokwenzeka ukwethula impahla emkhathini kaningi futhi kunciphise nezindleko.
Ngokusho kwe-Xinhua, i-solid-fuel i-Smart Dragon-2, enesisindo esingamathani angu-60 futhi enobude obungamamitha angu-21, ikwazi ukuletha cishe u-500 kg we-payload ku-orbit endaweni ephakeme engu-500 km. Ukwethulwa kokuhlolwa kwaleli rokhethi kulindeleke ukuthi kwenzeke ngonyaka ozayo. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, i-Smart Dragon-3 izohamba ngendiza yokuhlola ngo-2021 - le moto yokwethulwa izoba nesisindo esingamathani angu-116, ifinyelele ubude obungamamitha angu-31 futhi izokwazi ukuthumela cishe amathani angu-1,5 we-payload ku-orbit.
NgoJulayi, i-iSpace ezinze eBeijing ibe yifemu yokuqala yangasese yaseShayina ukundiza isathelayithi ku-orbit ngerokhethi yayo. Kusukela ngasekupheleni konyaka odlule, ezinye izinkampani ezimbili zaseChina eziqalayo zizamile ukwethula amasathelayithi kodwa zehluleka.
