China launched new rocket into space
A Long March 5B rocket took off from the Wenchang launch site on the southern island of Hainan and eight minutes later an unmanned prototype spacecraft successfully separated and entered its planned orbit
A test version of a cargo return capsule also successfully separated from the rocket,
China hopes that the craft will one day transport astronauts to a space station that it plans to complete by 2022 – and eventually to the Moon.
It will have capacity for a crew of six.
