The Long March 6 space rocket, which is being developed by the Number 8 academy of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), will be equipped with the latest technologies, and it will not emit toxins or pollution into the atmosphere.
The first Long March 6 rocket will be ready for launch in 2013, according to the website of CASC.
