深蓝航天  Deep Blue Limited – Deep Blue Aerospace One of sixty Chinese private space Carrier Rocket Companies in China-People’s Republic of China…  As many of sixty plus Private Rocket Deep Blue Aerospace Co., Ltd. was established in 2017. The company is mainly a high-tech aerospace enterprise that focuses on the direction of liquid recovery and reusable launch vehicles and provides users with commercial launch services. Deep Blue Aerospace Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province. At the same time, the company has rocket general and liquid engine R&D centers in Yizhuang, Beijing and Xi’an, Shaanxi, respectively, and a rocket power system test base in Tongchuan, Shaanxi…..

Recently , the reusable liquid engine “Thunder-R1” independently developed by Deep Blue Aerospace conducted its first long-distance test run of 420 seconds under rated operating conditions. The test run time covered more than twice the flight time of the first stage of the reusable rocket “Nebula-1 ” ; The engine started and shut down normally, and the whole process worked stably. 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.

Long-distance test run is an indispensable and important link in the development, production and engineering application of a type of engine. The success of this long-distance test marks the rapid development of Deep Blue Aerospace’s reusable liquid oxygen kerosene rocket engine, and also provides strong power support for the subsequent “Nebula-1” rocket to enter orbit. Previously, the same “Thunder-R1” engine has completed starting and ignition test, complete machine test, secondary start test, and full flight sequence three-start test. In the future, we will continue to carry out ground testing work such as a series of working conditions for pulling deviation, swing test, life and reliability test for engineering applications. The “Thunder-R1” engine is the power foundation of the medium-sized launch vehicle “Nebula-1” and will cover the needs of liquid rockets entering orbit and first-stage recovery.

The Shenzhou 17 mission Chang Zheng- Long March 2F Yao 17 manned Carrier Rocket is about to be unveiled at the on the 19th October 2023 Thursday Hours Hong- Kong SAR – Beijing time CNSA –China National Space Administration …..

It is expected that on the morning of October 26, 2023, the “Shenzhou 17” manned spacecraft carrying three astronauts will be launched from the 921 station of the Jiuquan launch site by the “Long March 2F” Yao 17 carrier rocket. After separation, the spacecraft will use the rapid rendezvous and docking mode to ascend to the forward port of the “Tianhe” core module of the Chinese Space Station to carry out the third astronaut crew rotation mission of China’s manned space program.

It is expected that about a week before the launch, the “Long March 2F” Yao 17 carrier rocket. spacecraft and the “Chang 2F” Yao 17 rocket assembly will be vertically transferred from the 9001 vertical assembly test plant to the 921 launch station on the movable launch platform, and the launch mission will be transferred to the refuelling station. launch phase. During the launch station, the “Shenzhou 17” mission will organize joint training work such as full-system launch drills at the launch site and joint drills in the entire region to fully prepare for the launch work.

The “Shenzhou 17” manned spacecraft was developed by the Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. It adopts a three-cabin configuration in series, with the propulsion module, return module and orbital module in sequence from bottom to top. The total length of the spacecraft is 9 meters, the maximum diameter of the cabin section is 2.8 meters, and the take-off mass is no more than 8130 kilograms. The spacecraft can carry three astronauts to and from space, and can dock at the space station and fly for 6 months. At the same time, the spacecraft has the cargo capacity of 300 kilograms in the upward direction and 50 kilograms in the downward direction.

At present, the development and production of the “Shenzhou” manned spacecraft has entered the second batch of mass production. This batch plans to develop and produce 6 spacecraft from “Shenzhou 16” to “Shenzhou 21”, and “Shenzhou 17” It is the second spacecraft in this batch. Compared with the previous batch, the new batch of spacecraft has mainly been improved in two aspects. On the one hand, it continues to promote the domestic replacement of parts and components and further enhances its independent controllability; on the other hand, it has improved the human-machine interaction interface of the return capsule. Modernized and upgraded, more convenient and friendly.

The “Chang-2F” launch vehicle was developed by the First Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. It is a medium-sized two-stage semi-normal temperature liquid launch vehicle. It consists of a core first stage, a core second stage, and four boosters tied around the core first stage. , the main power of the entire arrow is dinitrogen tetroxide/uniform dimethylhydrazine propellant. The rocket currently in use is the “Chang 2F” improved version (CZ-2F/G), with a total length of about 58 meters, a take-off mass of about 496.82 tons, and a low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of not less than 8,130 kilograms.

By continuously eliminating weak links and optimizing the technical status, the reliability and safety of the “Chang-2F” rocket have been steadily improved year by year. By the time of the “ Long March 2F” Yao 17 carrier rocket., the rocket’s reliability evaluation results had increased to 0.9896, and the safety evaluation results had reached 0.99996. Safety 0.9896 means that there will only be 1.04 failures per 100 flights. Safety 0.99996 means that the rocket escape system will only have a 4/100,000 probability of failure when responding to failures.

“Shenzhou 17” is my country’s 17th “Shenzhou” spacecraft launch mission and the 12th manned launch mission. As usual, the astronauts will settle in Wentian Pavilion of Dongfeng Space City one week before the launch, and will participate in the joint inspection and testing of people, ships, rockets, and ground in the full-system launch drill organized by the launch site system, and “test drive” The “Shenzhou Seventeen” spacecraft. The day before the launch, the three astronauts of the “Shenzhou 17” crew will make their official debut.
