February 4th, the beginning of spring, one should avoid seeking medical treatment, moving, and sleeping; it's appropriate to get a haircut or launch a rocket.
The New Yuan 5 rocket, which had been reused three times, stood at the number 4 position of the Qiongzhou Launch Site, ready to venture into space.
This was the last launch mission before the Spring Festival for Xinyuan Company, and most of the staff had gone on holiday, with only a few remaining on rotation in Qiongzhou to handle this mission before taking their leaves.
The New Yuan 5A for this launch carried seven "Meridian" series satellites, each weighing 1100 kilograms and costing 12 million, with an operational life of 15 years in orbit.
