The fairing separation test of Tianlong-2 carrier rocket was a complete success.

CTOnews.com December 20 news, according to the latest news from Beijing Tianbing Technology Co., Ltd., the Tianlong II liquid carrier rocket fairing separation test developed by the company has been a complete success recently, the timing of the separation process is correct, the kinematics measurement results are consistent with the simulation results, and there is no damage to the product after the test, so you can directly participate in the first flight.

Officials said that the success of this separation test verified the correctness of the fairing separation scheme and the reliability of the product, and laid a solid foundation for the successful first flight of Tianlong II.

According to public data, Tianlong-2 is a liquid oxygen kerosene carrier rocket with a three-stage configuration, with a total length of 32.8 meters, a fairing length of 5.7 meters, a diameter of 3.35 meters, a take-off mass of 150 tons, a take-off thrust of 190 tons, and a maximum axial overload coefficient of less than 6.0 Leo capacity 2t500 km SSO solar synchronous orbit capacity 1.5 tons.

CTOnews.com has learned that the Zhangjiagang is scheduled to make its maiden flight in 2023. In the follow-up, Tianlong II will have a maximum of 10 times of reuse, and the first-stage engine scheme may be changed to 7 Tianhuo-11.
