 The
Long March (CZ) 2F launch vehicle is an updated man-rated version
of China's Long March 2E rocket. The CZ-2F features a two-stage
core vehicle, with four liquid-fueled boosters attached around the
circumference of the first stage.
This CZ-2F was used to
launch the unmanned spacecraft Shenzhou into orbit on November 20,
1999. Four identical strap-on first stages allow heavy payloads to
be deployed.
