Recently, DeepBlue Aerospace’s “Thunder-R1” engine rocking test run was a complete success. This test run included sine wave swing, square wave position, frequency sweep and triangle wave swing tests, covering the control requirements for subsequent flight missions and verifying the engine Compatibility with servo system operation.

This test run achieved the following results:

1. Feasibility of the plan

The “Thunder-R1” engine adopts a pump backswing solution, which has a small weight in the swing part, greatly reduces the power demand on the servo mechanism, and improves the response characteristics of the small engine control loop; the pump backswing technology can achieve the same swing angle. Significantly reducing the swing envelope is a key technology to achieve a parallel layout of multiple rockets in a limited space. This test run verified the feasibility of this solution;

2 Reliability of flexible links

The maximum swing angle of the engine during the test was ±7°, which verified the reliability of the high-pressure swing hose;

3. Stability of electrical system

Through multiple complete machine tests of the “Thunder-R1” engine, the working stability and reliability of the engine’s electrical system have been fully verified.

This test run fully assessed the relevant performance indicators of the engine controller, servo system, battery, measurement system, ignition system and other parts to meet the overall requirements for the delivery of the rocket. In addition, the engine servo is the most important execution link of the rocket control system, and its working performance, stability and reliability were fully assessed and verified during this engine test run. The engine servo operates according to regulations and completes unidirectional swing and omnidirectional swing of various swing angles at multiple frequency points, with a maximum swing angle of 7 degrees. The engine servo is working normally and all performance indicators meet the requirements of the rocket control system.

This engine test has accumulated a large amount of data and valuable experience for the power system test. It also laid the foundation for the high-altitude VTVL recovery test of the first sub-stage of the “Nebula-1” rocket that Deep Blue Aerospace will conduct this year, as well as the first flight of the “Nebula-1” rocket. Solid foundation.

Knowledge Posts

The “Thunder-R1” engine thrust vector control adopts a pump backswing technical solution. As the name suggests, a swingable high-pressure hose is set between the engine’s thrust chamber and the turbine pump. When the engine is performing vector control during operation, the turbine The pump is stationary and the thrust chamber is oscillated by the servo actuator. The name pump backswing engine actually comes from the perspective of the overall engine layout. This layout is based on the engine frame, and the frame and the thrust chamber are connected through a gimbal. Since only the thrust chamber swings, the swing mass and inertia are small, and the power requirements for the servo actuator are lower; since the turbopump does not swing, the engine swing profile is more compact, and the saved space provides the possibility to connect more rocket engines in parallel.

The company focuses on the research and development of intelligent launch vehicles, and provides integrated commercial launch services for global satellite and constellation customers.

Just now on the 2nd November 2023, my country China, People’s Republic of China has used an orbit-level engine for the first time to conduct a vertical take-off and landing test of a rocket, successfully conducting a key verification of rocket recovery and reuse.

At around 1400 Hours Hong Kong SAR- Beijing Time this afternoon 2nd November 2023, Beijing Interstellar Glory Space Technology Co., Ltd. successfully carried out the first vertical take-off and landing test of the Hyperbola-2 verification rocket at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center (official announcement: the first domestic use of full-scale reusable one-stage liquid oxygen Vertical take-off and landing flight test of methane liquid rocket).

The flight test mission of the liquid oxygen methane reusable verification rocket Hyperbola II (codenamed SQX-2Y) independently developed by Star Glory was a complete success

🔷The rocket adopts a full-size rocket body diameter of 3.35m and a total length of about 17m

🔷Assembled and independently developed by Star Glory The Focus-1 depth variable thrust liquid oxygen methane engine (codenamed JD-1)
🔷The test flight altitude is 178.42m, the flight time is 50.82s
🔷The landing position accuracy is about 1.68m, the landing speed is 0.025m/s, and the landing attitude angle is about 0.18°. The rolling angle is about 4°, and the flight test mission was successfully completed with high precision



The vertical takeoff and landing test is a key verification and iteration step for rocket recovery and reuse. The developers built a test platform with similar size, weight, power and control system to the first stage of the real rocket (or even directly modified it from the rocket body), and organized it in the atmosphere. Meters, hundreds of meters, and kilometers are gradually progressively tested (parts can be saved), thereby optimizing the software and hardware design, and finally realizing the recovery and reuse of the first stage of the rocket in orbit.

Today’s test rocket is equipped with a Focus-1 liquid oxygen methane engine. This is also the first time that my country has used an engine with the ability to enter orbit for such a test.

The test was a complete success, marking that the “Thunder-R1” engine entered the series boundary, life and reliability test stage.

As China’s first pin-bolt reusable liquid oxygen kerosene engine , this long-distance test run verified the reliability and stability of the system and components of the “Thunder-R1” engine under rated operating conditions. The engine status is stable and its performance is excellent. It demonstrates the technical strength and product leadership of Deep Blue Aerospace’s reusable rocket engine, and proves that the “Thunder-R1” is one step closer to being officially delivered, carrying out the high-altitude recovery test of the first stage of the “Nebula-1” rocket, and flying into orbit.

“ Thunder-R1″ is a liquid engine product specially developed for vertical recovery and reuse of launch vehicles. It currently demonstrates excellent performance in various aspects such as reuse, multiple starts, and wide-range thrust adjustment. 85% of the weight of this engine is made by 3D printing. It adopts a pump-back swing and has a compact structure. It is used as the main power for the first and second stages of the Deep Blue Aerospace “Nebula-1” recyclable and reusable liquid launch vehicle.

Up to now, the cumulative test run time of the same engine has reached 2,000 seconds, which has verified the anti-fatigue characteristics and service life of engine components in the harsh engine working environment.

The single ground ignition of the engine lasted 420 seconds. It assessed the long-range work coordination, process reliability and margin design of the entire engine and each component. According to real-time monitoring throughout the test run, the engine was working stably and in good condition. The test data is consistent with the set indicators, and all indicators meet the flight requirements of the “Nebula-1” rocket.
