China, People’s Republic of China’s first stainless steel rocket – LandSpace Blue Arrow Aerospace’s reusable liquid oxygen methane rocket Zhuque 3!
🔷The Zhuque-3 reusable liquid oxygen methane launch vehicle is the latest product in the Blue Arrow space launch vehicle series. The diameter of the rocket body is 4.5m, the fairing diameter is 5.2m, the total length of the rocket is 76.6m, the take-off mass is about 660t, and the take-off thrust is about 900t.
🔷The power system adopts the Tianque series liquid oxygen methane engines independently developed by Blue Arrow Aerospace. Among them, the first sub-stage is equipped with 9 Tianque 12B (TQ-12B) engines with a sea level thrust of 1000kN; the second sub-stage is equipped with 1 TQ-12B engine with a vacuum thrust of 1183kN. Magpie 15B (TQ-15B) vacuum engine has a vacuum specific impulse of 3500m/s.
🔷Considering that the first stage can be reused, the entire arrow is equipped with 4 sets of retractable grid rudders as aerodynamic control surfaces for attitude adjustment and landing point control of the aerodynamic deceleration section of the first stage; landing legs are installed on the tail to achieve a Vertical landing during sub-stage recovery.
🔷The first sub-stage of Zhuque 3 is designed to be reused no less than 20 times. The low-orbit carrying capacity for one-time missions can reach 21.3t, and the recovery mission in the navigation area is 18.3t. It has the capability of multiple satellites with one arrow and flat-plate stacking satellite group shooting. The capability fully covers the launch needs of most payloads on the market such as LEO, SSO, GTO and other different orbits. After being put into commercial operation, it will greatly improve the networking efficiency of satellite Internet constellations.
🔷The Zhuque-3 rocket is China’s first stainless steel liquid launch vehicle, which can significantly reduce the manufacturing cost of the rocket and shorten the production cycle. Its high temperature resistance has obvious advantages in the rocket’s multiple returns and reuse. In addition, due to the low cost of liquid oxygen methane, the methane engine’s non-carbon deposits, easy maintenance, and full life cycle monitoring properties, the first-stage engine of the Suzaku-3 rocket can be inspected without lowering the arrow after the rocket is recovered, and can be refilled after refueling. flight, achieving true flight operations, and the launch cost can be reduced by 80-90% compared with disposable rockets.

On the Morning Hour Hong- Kong SAR – Beijing time CNSA –China National Space Administration On 15th January 2024, the combination of the Long March 7 Yao 8 carrier rocket and天舟七号the Advance cargo spacecraft was vertically at the Wenchang Space Launch Site, Hainan Province China, Peoples Republic of China transported to the Wenchang launch complex standing by in readiness to launch towards the Tiangong –China Space Station..
天舟七号 Chang Zheng – Long March 7 Carrier Rocket with the Advance Tianzhou cargo spacecraft launch mission was a complete success…… At 22:27 on January 17, 2024, Hong Kong SAR- Beijing time, the Long March 7 Yao 8 launch vehicle carrying the Tianzhou 7 cargo spacecraft was ignited at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in China. About 10 minutes after the launch, the Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft successfully separated from the rocket and entered the predetermined orbit. Afterwards, the spacecraft’s solar panels were deployed smoothly, making the launch a complete success. In the future, the Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft will rendezvous and dock with the space station assembly in orbit.
The Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft was loaded with consumables, propellants, application experimental equipment and other materials for the astronauts to stay in orbit, and sent “new year goods” for the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon to the Shenzhou-17 astronaut crew.
This mission is the fourth launch mission since my country’s manned space project entered the space station application and development stage. It is the 31st launch mission since the project was established and implemented. It is also the 507th flight of the Long March series of launch vehicles
