Abstract
After the launch of their first two satellites in 1970 and 1971, the Chinese shifted focus towards recoverable satellites. The recoverable satellite series has the Chinese name “Fanhui Shi Weixing” or FSW in its shortened form. The two launch vehicles that China was developing at that time were the Feng Bao launcher developed by the Shanghai-based group and the CZ 2C (originally CZ 2A) launcher being developed by the Beijing-based China Academy for Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT).
