On May 5th, 1958, the first sounding rocket of the People's Republic of China launched from Base 20 in western Inner Mongolia. It had a diameter of 45 centimeters, it was 8 meters long, had a launch weight of 1138 kg, and brought a payload of 25 kg (scientific equipment to measure the upper atmosphere) to an altitude of 58 kilometers. It was hailed as a great success by the Central Committee and is hoped to be simply the beginning of a new era of Chinese exploration.
