2 (The service model is flexible, and can provide batch packaging, carpool launch, whole rocket launch and piggyback launch services;
3) The mission mode covers the entire range, with exclusive land-based and sea-based launch stations, which can be applied to multiple application scenarios such as low-orbit constellation networking, space station cargo transportation, high-orbit launch, near-space scientific experiments, and suborbital tourism;
4) High cost performance. Through a series of technological innovations and mass production, including recycling, intelligent launch and intelligent flight, etc., the launch cost has been greatly reduced, and the launch cost of a one-time launch vehicle is 60,000 yuan per kilogram, which can be reused later. The cost of liquid launch vehicles reached RMB 30,000 per kilogram, which is on par with world-class aerospace companies such as SpaceX.
On the basis of Lijian-1, Zhongke Aerospace is developing a general-purpose core-level bundled solid launch vehicle for Lijian-1. By bundling four cores and replacing them with a third stage with a larger diameter, the low-orbit The ability to launch large mass loads, with a carrying capacity of 5.6 tons in a 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit and 8 tons in a low-Earth orbit, ranks among the ranks of large rockets and can be used for large-scale satellite launches or cost-effective deployment of low-orbit constellations, and can also be used to launch space station cargo spacecraft . Shi Xiaoning revealed that the Lijian-1A solid launch vehicle has been shortlisted as an alternative launch vehicle for my country’s space station transportation.
At the same time, this type of rocket utilizes the mature power and avionics system technology of Lijian-1, and can further reduce the launch cost through integration and mass production of mature modules, and has better cost performance while achieving large carrying capacity.
Lijian-2 is the first liquid launch vehicle under development by Zhongke Aerospace. This model adopts the classic core stage diameter of Chinese rockets – 3.35 meters. Both stages are powered by 20-ton “Xuanyuan No. 1” liquid oxygen kerosene engines. It is a low-temperature small intelligent launch vehicle with a carrying capacity of 500 kilometers. Synchronous orbit 2.2 tons.
