[Tianlong-3 rocket plans to make its first flight in May next year, and it will be able to achieve an annual output of 30 rounds]
The Tianlong-3 rocket is scheduled to complete its first flight in May 2024, and will subsequently have a commercial launch service capability of more than 30 rounds per year. The Tianlong-3 rocket has a diameter of 3.8 meters, a total length of 71 meters, a take-off mass of 590 tons, a take-off thrust of 770 tons, a low-earth orbit capacity of 17 tons, and a sun-synchronous orbit capacity of 14 tons.
Space Pioneer, a Beijing-based private rocket maker, plans to carry out the debut launch of its TL 3 carrier rocket in 2024.The company said it hopes the model will become the backbone of China’s commercial space launch market. According to Space Pioneer, the TL 3 will be 71 meters tall, with a diameter of 3.8 meters. With a liftoff weight of 590 tons and a thrust of 770 tons, the rocket will be capable of sending satellites with a combined weight of 14 tons into a typical sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 500 kilometers, or putting a spacecraft weighing 17 tons into a low-Earth orbit.
2024 The first launch of its TL 3 launch vehicle. The company said it hopes the model will become a mainstay in China’s commercial space launch market. TL 3 is 71 meters high and 3.8 meters in diameter.

In April 2023, the Tianlong-2 medium-sized liquid carrier rocket independently developed by Tianbing Technology successfully made its maiden flight. This is the first private liquid rocket in China. On the basis of the successful launch, Tianbing Technology independently developed the Tianlong-3 large liquid launch vehicle. Compared with the Tianlong-2 rocket, the Tianlong-3 rocket has a greater carrying capacity. The self-developed 100-ton Tianhuo 12 liquid oxygen kerosene rocket engine has passed the test run of the whole system under various working conditions.
Zhang Chenxing, deputy director of the general department of Tianbing Technology Rocket R&D Center, needs to consider the transportation capacity and launch cost of the rocket launch. In the face of satellites weighing 300 kg to 500 kg, the Tianlong-3 rocket can carry 30 to 60 satellites at a time, and the launch cost can be effectively reduced to the price level of the US Space Exploration Technology Corporation (SpaceX) “Falcon 9” rocket.
