The sixth Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology of China has completed the ignition test of 200 ton liquid oxygen methane generator, which is expected to be used in the long March 9 heavy rocket.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen grass Luo Yuzi for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com May 12 news, according to the sixth Research Institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (Xi'an Aerospace Power Test Technology Research Institute), 10:55 on May 12, Tongchuan High thrust liquid Rocket engine Test Center 1201-1 test station, reusable engine secondary start test was a complete success. This is also the first time that 1201-1 has undertaken the task of model development after the complete success of the test bench. It marks that Tongchuan Test Center has officially entered the stage of engineering application.

On the same day, the sixth Research Institute completed the ignition test of 200 tons of liquid oxygen methane generator at 902-1 of Baolongyu Cryogenic liquid Rocket engine Test Center, which is an important test to ensure the stable ignition of the follow-up generator. According to current industry information, CTOnews.com predicts that this achievement is expected to be used in the long March 9 heavy rocket.

According to PPT, China's newly released deep space exploration plan, China's long March 9 heavy rocket plans to carry out flight verification of two test arrows before 2033, will carry out an one-stage fixed-point return test at sea, and eventually break through the two-stage key technologies for complete reuse.

At present, the long March 9 is the largest rocket in service and research in our country, both in terms of arrow body and thrust, far exceeding that of any other type of rocket. the initial target of its design is that the total mass exceeds 4000 tons and the thrust exceeds 5800 tons. It can launch more than 100 tons of near-earth spacecraft and more than 50 tons of lunar orbit spacecraft.
