While space research continues rapidly, rockets that carry many things from satellites to people are also developing rapidly. This of course makes a significant difference in costs reusable rockets It is of great importance. We know that the most prominent in this regard is Elon Musk’s company SpaceX. The giant company produces rockets that can be used repeatedly, such as Falcon 9.
The fact that SpaceX is better in this regard allows its competitors to try to catch up. Chinese is one of them. Recently in the country Tests of the first reusable rocket is carried out. Considering that the space war between the US and China is escalating, it is very normal to see such a move from China.
During the test it successfully reached an altitude of 12 km.
The Chinese rocket, which will rival that of SpaceX, was launched on June 23 from the facility in Jiuquan city. This was the first test flight of the rocket that could take off and land vertically. Rocket as a result of the test was successful And just like SpaceX rockets, it works great. The aircraft was able to land vertically.
According to the shared information, the state missile was tested during the test. 12 kilometers high managed to achieve. The rocket developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC). It has a diameter of 3.8 meters Let’s add that it works with 3 methane liquid oxygen engines.
Aiming to make progress in the space race in the coming years, China has accelerated its moves into reusable rockets. It is said that this missile can carry a payload of up to 6500 kg. The next step is to fly a larger rocket that will reach an altitude of 70 km in 2025. At the same time, other companies from the country are developing similar rockets. We will see over time whether it will stay ahead of the United States.
