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…..

1. It uses Blue Arrow Aerospace’s self-developed Tianque series liquid oxygen methane engine. The first sub-stage uses 9 TQ-12B engines, and the second sub-stage is equipped with 1 TQ-15B vacuum engine.
2. The low-orbit carrying capacity for one-time missions reaches 21.3t, the recovery mission in the flight area reaches 18.3t, and the return recovery mission reaches 12.5t
3. In the future, the first stage of the rocket can be reused up to 20 times
4. It is expected to be launched in 2025 Capable of first

[Suzaku 3 officially released, stainless steel rocket, methane fuel, recyclable, 9 machines in parallel, 4.5 meters in diameter, road transportation, capacity of more than 20 tons] After the successful launch of Zhuque 2 Yao 3, the Blue Arrow official website officially disclosed the information of the Suzaku 3 rocket .



It is expected to be capable of first flight in 2025. This first flight in 2025 seems crazy, but this rocket is smart in that it has not changed the engine. It is just an improved version of the TQ-12 of the current Suzaku 2. What needs to be solved is The problem with the bold choice of stainless steel storage tanks is gone. SpaceX’s starships are currently overweight due to their use of stainless steel. Domestic companies that follow the stainless steel route will also encounter similar problems. The current Suzaku 2 may also have the problem of overweight structure, resulting in substandard transportation capacity. The subsequent Suzaku 3 will be switched to stainless steel, which can be said to be very brave and the challenge is not small.



The diameter of the rocket is 4.5 meters, so it is impossible to transport it by special train (it is said that it cannot be scheduled for a special train). According to legend, it has been transported by road from Hainan to Jiuquan. The diameter of the fairing is 5.2 meters (very large), and the entire arrow is 76.6 meters in diameter. It is equipped with 4 sets of grid rudders and 4 deployable landing legs.

The rocket uses Blue Arrow Aerospace’s self-developed Tianque series liquid oxygen methane engine. The first sub-stage uses 9 TQ-12B engines, and the second sub-stage is equipped with 1 TQ-15B vacuum engine. The take-off thrust is 900 tons, and the liquid oxygen methane propellant is

disposable. The mission’s low-orbit carrying capacity reaches 21.3t, the recovery mission in the navigation area reaches 18.3t, and the return recovery mission reaches 12.5t.

In the future, a rocket stage can be reused up to 20 times.

On the Month of October- November 2023  Zhang Changwu, founder/CEO of Blue Arrow Aerospace As a guest speaker, attend this conference event of Aerospace Information Industry International Ecosystem Event 2023 It has finally been officially announced that Blue Arrow has developed the reusable Carrier Rocket  stainless steel Suzaku 3 rocket….  

Many people did not notice the details on. Blue Arrow disclosed for the first time its Suzaku 3, which will succeed Suzaku 2 Carrier Rocket – Reusable Carrier Rocket. Launch vehicle.

Judging from the picture, the one-time launch to low-Earth orbit has a transport capacity of 20 tons, the recovery area is 16.5 tons (not necessarily at sea), and the return transport capacity is 11 tons. Two-stage design, stainless steel storage tank, the diameter should be more than 4 meters by comparison, and it is suspected that 7 engines (maybe 9) are stuffed inside. First stage with grille rudder with deployable landing legs.

The railway transportation limit made by the Shanghai Institute is 3.8 meters. If it is 4 meters higher, it is equivalent to killing the possibility of inland launch? Or is there another way? After all, Landspace Blue Arrow spent a lot of effort on the launch pad in Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, Inner Mongolia, China, and People’s Republic of China. , so it is unlikely that they will be abandoned. What do you think?

Blue Arrow originally wanted to go to IAC for a press conference, but it was later cancelled for some reason. This time in China, it was taken the opportunity to release. There is nothing unexpected about the overall design. Perhaps the only exception is the use of stainless steel. It is the first mainstream private aerospace company in China to officially announce the use of stainless steel.

General Manager Changwu of Blue Arrow shared that no matter what, I have always recognized Blue Arrow’s hard work and development in the field of China’s commercial space launch vehicles, and I am grateful for its efforts and contributions to the commercialization of China’s launch vehicles. I will always believe in it. , as long as you keep working hard like this, @LANDSPACE Blue Arrow Aerospace will be realized sooner or later.

银河航天 Galaxy Space – is located  3rd Floor, Building B, Baosheng Plaza, No. 8 Heiquan Road, Haidian District, Beijing, China, People’s Republic of China…   Galaxy space- Aerospace is One of China, People’s Republic of China’s leading satellite Internet solution provider and satellite manufacturer, and the first unicorn company in my country’s commercial aerospace field. The company is committed to independent research and development and low-cost mass production of communication payloads, core single machines, and satellite platforms. It has built internationally leading supporting development capabilities for communication payloads, core single machines, and solar wings in Xi’an, Chengdu, and Beijing, and is also building in Nantong. The new generation of satellite intelligent manufacturing factories has achieved mass production capabilities of hundreds of satellites.

【”Space Carpet”! Galaxy Aerospace] According to Xu Ming, founder, chairman and CEO of  Galaxy Space , the new generation of communication satellites being developed by Galaxy Aerospace looks like a “space flying carpet”, with both The communication antenna also has a solar chip that can convert solar energy into satellite energy. It is a communication satellite that integrates a phased array antenna and a solar wing. The key technology is called “wing array integration”.

　　The antenna is the core part of the satellite communication system and a key factor in determining the quality of signal transmission. Using large antennas can increase the gain of signal reception and transmission, thereby improving communication quality. The “wing array integrated” satellite can have a large antenna area and a powerful energy system, which can make the satellite more powerful when transmitting signals. It will be used to support the broadband communication needs of future mobile phones directly connected to satellites.


　　At present, Galaxy Aerospace has completed key technical research on the two-dimensional deployment of the “Wing Array Integrated” satellite. Generally speaking, the satellite’s antenna or solar wing generally only expands in one direction (such as horizontally) when unfolded. The so-called two-dimensional expansion means that the satellite’s antenna and solar wing must be deployed in an orderly manner in both the horizontal and vertical directions. . In view of this configuration in which the size of the satellite platform and the phased array are reversed, the traditional satellite-arrow connection, compression and separation technology cannot be used. The technical team designed and completed an integrated release plan; for extremely large-area arrays, high deployment accuracy and deployment stiffness are required In order to meet the large requirements, the technical team has broken through technical challenges such as folding and compaction, two-dimensional orderly deployment in orbit, and slowing down the impact of deployment, and completed the development of key mechanisms suitable for the deployment of satellite giant antennas and solar wing integrated arrays, and will Continue to carry out research on key technologies such as wing array integrated efficient heat dissipation and distributed power supply.

Facing the future, Galaxy Aerospace will accelerate the research on key core technologies such as phased array antennas, on-board large energy sources, and digital processing loads, and work with the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to tackle key problems to help the development of my country’s aerospace information industry and the construction of a powerful aerospace nation.
