A little more perspective
The Chinese space agency’s May 3, 2024 launch account provides the 57-meter dimension. I use the full vehicle described in that mission, without substituting a Long March 5B configuration or a detached first stage.
The tall central stack, payload fairing and strap-on boosters remain assembled in the picture. The shared baseline begins at the rocket’s own lowest hardware, excluding its mobile launch platform. The whole-meter listing does not imply survey-level precision.
Quick facts
The Long March 5 carrying Chang’e 6 on May 3, 2024 is described by CNSA as 57 meters tall. The reference includes its upper stage, payload fairing and four strap-on boosters.
