The SZ 3 was the first SZ to have full life support systems and carried an astronaut-simulator. The simulator reproduces the shape and mass distribution of a real astronaut and simulates the electrical, breathing, body temperature and blood pressure signals for telemetry.

It was also the first CZ-2F to have a live escape tower.

The LES including the upper fairing is 15.1m long and 3.8m dia, with a mass of 11260 kg.
