Chinese firm finishes reusable rocket engine tests
Dib Blue Aerospace, one of the emerging companies in China's commercial space sector, successfully completed a long-duration test of an reusable rocket engine. The company conducted a static firing test lasting 100 seconds on the Thunder-RS engine, which runs on kerosene and liquid oxygen and supports its large Nebula-2 rocket. These tests were part of an assessment of the engine's performance following several shorter previous tests. This was the first test to exceed the duration of static operation, reflecting advances in reusable technology that reduce launch costs, increase launch frequency, and contribute to more organized access to space. This achievement follows the successful launch of China's Chutou-3 rocket and the recovery of its first stage on land, highlighting the ongoing progress of China's space industry in rocket reusability technology.
