The '''Feng Bao 1''' ({{zh|s=风暴|l=Storm}}), also known as '''FB-1''', was a Chinese [[carrier rocket]] launched between 1972 and 1981. It was replaced by the nearly identical [[Long March 2]], which had been developed at the same time for political reasons related to China's [[Cultural Revolution]].<ref name="EA-CZ">{{cite web|url=http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/cz.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080907150116/http://astronautix.com/lvs/cz.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=September 7, 2008|title=CZ|last1=Wade|first1=Mark|publisher=Encyclopedia Astronautica|access-date=2009-01-25}}</ref>
The Feng Bao was derived from the [[DF-5]] missile. Eleven were launched, of which four failed.<ref name="GSP">{{cite web|url=http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_lau/fb-1.htm|title=FB-1 (Feng Bao-1)|last1=Krebs|first1=Gunter|publisher=Gunter's Space Page|access-date=2009-01-25}}</ref> Launches occurred from LA-2B at the [[Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center|Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre]].
