Recently, Deep Blue Aerospace successfully completed the B2 round of financing, fully accelerating the technological innovation of recyclable rockets and the commercialization of the recyclable and reusable rocket Nebula-1 (hereinafter referred to as “Nebula-1”). Wuxi High-tech Zone Investment and Control Group led this round of financing and became a cornerstone investor in multiple rounds, completing and locking in nearly 1 billion yuan in funds, injecting strong development momentum into the research and development and production of Deep Blue Aerospace, and jointly promoting the rapid development of China’s aerospace in the era of great aerospace

.

This round of funds will be mainly used to strengthen technology research and development, expand production scale, optimize supply chain management, and accelerate market promotion. It is worth noting that the Deep Blue Aerospace Rocket Intelligent Manufacturing and Assembly Base of more than 20,000 square meters has landed in Wuxi High-tech Zone. With the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal as the background, it will accelerate the expansion of the rocket industry cluster along the canal. The Deep Blue Aerospace Rocket Canal Factory will become a demonstration base for high-end manufacturing and commercial rocket industries in Wuxi High-tech Zone. The

Canal Factory will be mainly used for the mass production of Nebula-1 and Nebula-2 rockets. As a representative of China’s recyclable rockets, the Nebula-1 rocket will significantly reduce launch costs and increase launch frequency, and will be of milestone significance for promoting the sustainable development of China’s commercial aerospace industry. At present, preparations for the first launch of the Nebula-1 rocket are in full swing. The Nebula-2 rocket, which is scheduled to make its maiden flight at the end of 2025, will have a takeoff scale of 1,000 tons and will also be recyclable and reusable. On

July 21, the Nebula-1 rocket completed a series of tests of the first-stage three-machine parallel full-time power system at the Deep Blue Jigang Test Base in Jinan City, simulating the full working conditions of high-altitude recovery flight and a large range of engine variable thrust tests, and achieved complete success. In August, the rocket body will go to the test site to prepare for the upcoming high-altitude vertical recovery flight test of the first stage of the Nebula-1 rocket, and will choose an opportunity to conduct a 100-kilometer-level rocket vertical recovery flight test. Each test of the rocket will accumulate valuable test data for the first flight of the Nebula-1 orbital rocket, ensuring that the Nebula-1 reusable rocket “goes into space without any problems” and that the first flight of the Nebula-1 rocket into orbit and recovery will be completed smoothly by the end of the year. Deep Blue Aerospace will continue to increase its R&D investment in the field of reusable rocket technology, and is committed to exploring more efficient, economical and environmentally friendly space launch solutions to promote the innovative development of China’s commercial space industry.

 The Pallas-1 series of launch vehicles are compatible with fairings with diameters of 3.35m, 4.2m, and 5.2m to meet the needs of different satellite customers. The fairing used in this test is one of the series of fairing products independently developed and designed by Galaxy Power, and is consistent with the Pallas-1 Yao-1 flight test product. The fairing adopts a von Karman shape, which has the advantages of low flight aerodynamic resistance, light structural mass and easy operation.

The fairing end cap is made of high-strength ablation-resistant composite material, a large area of ​​honeycomb sandwich composite material structure, and a metal frame structure at the rear. The fairing separation system adopts a “hinge-spring” half-cover rotation separation scheme, and the lateral and longitudinal separation unlocking devices both use point-type explosive bolts, which have small impact during the separation process and high separation reliability.

The static test of the fairing assessed the fairing’s ability to resist external loads and verified the structural strength. The test achieved the intended purpose and obtained relevant data. The modal test obtained the fairing’s modal parameters, providing a basis for structural dynamics model modification and fairing separation calculation.
 

The fairing separation test fully verified the correctness of the fairing separation system design, obtained the collision boundary data between the fairing separation body and the payload, assessed the adaptability of the structural system to the separation concentrated force load and the impact load of pyrotechnics, and obtained important mechanical environment parameters.

The complete success of the fairing series tests indicates that Galaxy Aerospace has the ability to quickly design, analyze and test large liquid rocket fairings, laying a solid foundation for the company’s subsequent model development.

[The joint test of the 85-ton liquid oxygen-kerosene engine YF-102 and servo matching flight conditions of the first stage of the Lijian-2 liquid carrier rocket of China Aerospace Science and Technology was successfully completed]

Recently, China Aerospace Science and Technology completed the joint test of the 85-ton liquid oxygen-kerosene engine and servo matching flight conditions of the first stage of the Lijian-2 liquid carrier rocket. The test engine is in a two-way swing state and can meet the 6-degree swing circle control requirements. The swing test simulating the full-scale operation of the first stage during the test process was successful, verifying the matching of the first stage engine of the Lijian-2 with the servo system, and obtaining key data such as the dynamic swing characteristics of the engine. At the same time, this test tested the first flight state of the first stage engine of the Lijian-2.


This test simulated the process of increasing the oxidizer and fuel inlet pressure caused by the flight overload of the first stage engine of the Lijian-2 by changing the engine inlet pressure. The engine thrust and specific impulse met the overall design requirements, the engine parameters were stable, and the performance indicators such as the oxygen self-pressurization met the design requirements.



During the test run, the engine extreme swing angle test, small swing angle joint training, load calibration, pressurized cold swing test, hot test combined swing test, etc. were carried out successively. During the ignition process, various waveform conditions such as square wave, triangle wave, and sine wave were tested. The maximum swing angle of the engine was 6°, and the servo feedback position and command tracking were good. The two-way swing performance of the first-stage engine of Lijian No. 2 was assessed, and the coordination between the servo control system and the engine was verified. Later, the engine will continue to carry out life survey tests on this basis.

Combined with this engine test run, liquid oxygen circuit immersion precooling, small flow precooling and large flow precooling tests were carried out simultaneously to obtain more accurate engine precooling characteristics and verify the correctness of the rocket body precooling scheme. In

addition, the low-order modal characteristics of the first-stage engine were obtained through structural modal tests of the installation process pull rod state and the installation servo mechanism state, providing important data support for the design of the attitude control system on the rocket. Environmental measurement points were added nearby to obtain environmental parameters such as noise.
