The Long March 4C, also known as the Chang Zheng 4C, CZ-4C and LM-4C, previously designated Long March 4B-II, is a Chinese orbital carrier rocket. It is launched from Launch Complex 1 at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Centre, and consists of 3 stages. So far, two have been launched, both with Yaogan remote sensing satellites. Because it was still designated as Long March 4B-II at the time of its maiden flight, the first launch is often mistaken for a Long March 4B.
The Long March 4C is derived from the Long March 4B, but features a restartable upper stage, and a larger payload fairing.
