Photo from today (18/05/2025) showing construction of the tower, which has been topped out at roughly 100 meters. LC-301 will launch the LM10 lunar rocket, as well as the smaller LM10A for LEO missions.
As a bonus, there’s a LM7A on it’s mobile platform for scale.
Progress has been very quick on site, which began in June-July last year, and the tower itself only started going up in late February. The project is expected to be completed by early 2026.
Why does every photo from this country look desaturated, is that smog?
P.S.: Dope tower, excited for launches.
Geez, why not just power up the nacells and put the bugger into 1 quarter impulse?? Sheesh. 😉
Don’t forget, NASA’s latest estimate for the SLS launch tower is [2.7 BILLION](https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/08/nasas-second-large-launch-tower-has-gotten-stupidly-expensive/) $
The west in general seems to have regressed to a point where we are unable to do larger projects. So kudos to China an their achievements!
