Secrets revealed: The Chinese rocket engine that puts NASA to shame!

China launches monstrous rocket engine: 130 tons of power, breaks test records and leaves the world stunned!

The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp (CASC), one of the country's leading aerospace companies, has achieved a significant milestone in the development of T spacecraft with the completion of testing on its new reusable rocket engine. This engine, which uses liquid oxygen and kerosene and has a 130 tons, is a vital component for the future of CASC's reusable rockets, including the promising Long March 10, according to engineeringhoje.com

Record-breaking tests

On April 13th, the team of engineers from the Sixth Academy of CASC carried out two ground ignition tests, eventually part of a series of experiments that included 15 repeat tests and 30 ignition starts. The total duration of these tests exceeded 3.900 seconds, establishing a new durability record for testing liquid rocket engines in China. In this way, these tests confirmed the high reliability of the engine and its expansion capacity, highlighting the evolution in the reuse of the engine that now allows multiple ignitions and extensive thrust adjustments.

Key technologies for rocket reuse

According to reports from the team to the Global Times from China, rocket reuse involves four critical technological areas:

• Return landing accuracy
• Stability during landing
• Durability for multiple reuses
• Fast maintenance for on-site repairs

The research team has been working to simplify maintenance and evaluation processes to improve engine longevity after multiple reuses.

The Chinese space race

This development marks a step forward in China's ambition to become the global leader in space technology, thereby competing directly with the United States. While the NASA faces criticism for technology considered outdated in its Space Launch System (SLS), China is moving quickly to expand its fleet of reusable rockets, both state-owned and private. With plans to test two state-owned reusable rockets in 2025 and 2026, and with private companies such as Galactic Energy preparing to test the rocket Pallas-1 as early as this year, so China is firmly on track to consolidate its presence in space.

China's reusable rocket engine represents a significant leap forward in space technology and puts the country in a competitive position in the global space race. In other words, with its reusability and testing records, China is paving the way for a more sustainable and efficient future in outer space.
