China moves a step closer to Starship rival Long March-9 with Raptor-like methane engine tests
JUST IN: China is pushing boundaries with an epic program to create mind-blowing engines for their Long March 9 super heavy-lift launcher. Picture this: reusable rocket engines fueled by methane, blasting off into the cosmos!
The wizards at the Xi’an Aerospace Propulsion Institute spill the beans on their progress. They’re working up engines that produce a mind-blowing 200 tons of thrust, using cutting edge full-flow staged-combustion-cycle technology. It’s like something out of a sci fi movie!
Hold onto your seats because they’re not just talking about it—they’re putting these engines to the test. We’re talking about firing up prototypes, igniters, and thrust chambers. It’s like a high-stakes fireworks show, but in space!
But here’s the kicker: they’re not just stopping at cool engines. Oh no! These bad boys are set to power the first stage of the Long March 9 launcher. Imagine 26 of these beasts working together to make history. The launch is set for 2033, and we’re on the edge of our seats for the show!
