Recently, the Blue Arrow Aerospace auxiliary power system Yunque (YQ-10) completed the first assembly and test work, and passed the acceptance test and delivered the complete machine for hot test.
YQ-10 is used in the second batch of Suzaku-2 liquid oxygen methane launch vehicle. It is mainly used for the control of rocket roll, pitch yaw, terminal velocity correction, propellant sinking, etc. It is different from Tianque series liquid oxygen methane engine. , which is a technical solution for an extruded single-component catalytic decomposition liquid rocket engine. It uses a normal temperature self-ignition propellant and has steady-state and pulse working capabilities.
The YQ-10 engine is independently developed by Blue Arrow Aerospace. It mainly includes 15 components such as thrust chambers, valves, storage tanks, gas cylinders, cables, etc., and a variety of ground support equipment such as electrical performance testers, charging and discharging equipment, etc.
In order to effectively reduce production costs and simplify production processes, Blue Arrow Aerospace integrates social resources and applies a number of civilian technologies and processes to products.
The head of the thrust chamber adopts a 3D printing technology solution and the structures such as the heat insulation frame, capillary tube and injector are formed at one time, the parameter selection is more flexible, and the production process is greatly simplified.
