The Long March 3 (Chinese: 长征三号火箭) also known as the Changzheng 3 CZ-3 and LM-3 was a Chinese orbital carrier rocket. It was launched from Launch Complex 1 at the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre. It was a 3-stage rocket and was mostly used to place DFH-2-class communications satellites into geosynchronous transfer orbits. It was complemented and later replaced by the more powerful Long March 3A which has an improved third stage.
