Loxodon-1 is the first bipropellant liquid rocket engine developed in Puerto Rico entirely by undergraduate students from the University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez Campus (UPRM). The purpose of this project is to serve as a proof-of-concept for future rocket engines and validate the feasibility of...
The Vehicle 09 became the first ballistic rocket that GIRD was able to take entirely from paper to the launch pad and the closest to date the Soviet engineers got to launching a liquid-propellant rocket, so important for space enthusiasts. However, the rocket eventually became known as a ...
The site currently has two launch pads for liquid propellant rockets. The No. 1 pad is designed for the Long March-8, China's new generation medium-lift carrier rocket. The No. 2 pad is capable of launching multiple types of rockets with various diameters from commercial rocket companies. E...
BEIJING, Aug. 23 (Xinhua) -- China will launch its first solid-propellant carrier rocket developed by a Chinese private company late this year. The ZQ-1 rocket was developed by Landspace, a Beijing-based rocket-maker. Its technicians are former state-owned aerospace industry workers. Carrying ...
12 -- China is set to launch its first medium-lift carrier rocket featuring a solid and liquid fuel engine in 2020. China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology confirmed plans to launch the Long March 6A payloadat the 12th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition in Zhuhai, in ...
The propellant and gas supply system at the launch site is capable of refueling and supplying liquid oxygen, liquid hydrogen, kerosene and methane. HICAL will also support commercial rocket companies in providing international commercial launch services. Xiang Dalin, vice director of HICAL's technical...
The Kinetica 1 series conducted its debut flight at the Jiuquan spaceport in July 2022, making it the country's largest and most powerful solid-propellant rocket at the time. The rocket has a length of 30 meters and a liftoff weight of 135 metric tons. It is capable of sending satellites...
CAS Space has begun to develop a new rocket, Kinetica 2, and plans to conduct its maiden flight in September 2025. The Kinetica 2 will be a medium-lift, liquid-fuel rocket. The 53-meter new model will consist of a multistage core booster, which will have a ...
