"Warm congratulations to the 'Tianzhou' cargo spacecraft on its successful launch."

On April 29, the Tianzhou-1 cargo spacecraft carrying the CZ-2F rocket launched from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, conducting the first resupply mission for the 2016 Tiangong Space Station, with a total of 13.5 tons of cargo, including 100 kilograms of vegetables.

The reason for not using the New Yuan series of rockets was that the New Yuan 5A, comparable in capability to the CZ-2F, was not much cheaper, with an external price tag of 1.5 billion, actually not much less expensive than the CZ-2F.

The CZ-2F is a cryogenic fuel rocket, costing only tens of millions more, so let's still support our own aerospace industry...

The six astronauts who had been in space for nearly 50 days ate fresh vegetables picked less than 10 hours ago and gave a hearty thumbs-up to the ground staff.
