Giant reusable Tianlong-3 rocket from China successfully surpasses 1,000-tonne maximum power test, signifying a significant achievement.
LandSpace, a leading Chinese space technology company, is gearing up for an exciting milestone as its Tianlong-3 rocket enters the final sprint towards launch. According to a recent statement from the company, the Tianlong-3 is expected to take flight by the end of this year.
The ground trial for the Tianlong-3 rocket, a significant milestone in rocket development, recently underwent a 35-second burn. This burn, described as the most complex and challenging ground trial in rocket development, involved a significant amount of thrust, produced by nine Tianhuo-12 engines. The combined thrust produced by these engines was nearly 1,000 tonnes.
Space Pioneer, a well-known source for space news, shared the information about the rocket's progress on social media. The Tianlong-3 rocket has now passed a major exam, marking another step forward in its journey towards commercial operations.
LandSpace's target for commercial operations is more than 30 missions per year, and the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT) plans to follow suit. CALT aims to fly the Tianlong-3 rocket by the end of this year and operate more than 30 missions annually in regular commercial service.
After the successful launch and completion of the commercial operations, LandSpace plans to transition into routine operations, marking a significant leap in China's space industry. The company's ambitions are high, and with the Tianlong-3 rocket, they are one step closer to achieving their goals.
As we eagerly await the launch of the Tianlong-3 rocket, it's clear that LandSpace is at the forefront of China's space technology revolution. With its focus on innovation and a commitment to regular, reliable operations, the company is set to make a lasting impact on the industry. Stay tuned for updates on the Tianlong-3 rocket's launch and LandSpace's continued journey in space exploration.
