    中国航空宇宙科学和技术公司（CASC）已经透露一个双-轨策略为小卫星去投入一种新范围的发射运载系统。

    CASC-中国空间发射计划的一个国有公司-正在一个空前的机载-发射能力和一个液体-燃料新一代小型发射运载系统（NGSLV）上工作。

    机载发射系统是一个三级助推器在一架被修改的西安H-6轰炸机（中国的Tu-16'獾'仿造型）的机背上携带。NGSLV是一种结合CASC最新的液体氧/煤油引擎的全新紧凑设计。

The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) has revealed a twin-track strategy to field a new range of launch vehicles for small satellites.

CASC - the state-owned company responsible for China's space launch programmes - is working on an unprecedented airborne-launch capability and a liquid-fuelled New Generation Small Launch Vehicle (NGSLV).

The airborne launcher is a three-stage booster carried aloft by a modified Xi'an H-6 bomber aircraft (China's Tu-16 'Badger' copy). The NGSLV is an entirely new compact design that incorporates CASC's latest liquid oxygen/kerosene engine.
