A Reusable Chinese Stainless Steel Rocket in 2025?

Рет қаралды 91,982

Күн бұрын

As one of the leading Chinese commercial launch companies, Landspace is currently operating the medium-lift methalox-fueled Zhuque-2, and plans to roll out the heavy-lift Zhuque-3 rocket. The latter is a partially reusable rocket with similar specifications to SpaceX's Falcon-9, and could represent one of the first "Chinese Falcon 9s" to be available.
While there are strong ressemblances between the two rockets, the Zhuque-3 has some differences, including the choice of propellant (methane), materials used (stainless steel), and its rocket booster recovery approach.
In this episode, we deep dive into these topics, while also going over the history of Landspace. Enjoy!

Excellent focused and concise content on Landspace. Am a bit surprised they will 'attempt' a boaster landing on the maiden launch. (8:23) Seems they're looking at the opportunity to collect as much engineering test data as possible. SpaceX did similar with it's early Falcon 9 development, with landing targets being just a target in the ocean. (no legs, working up to hover, splash down/RUD) IMO: It's very strategic and pragmatic that Landspace is developing their own launch complex infrastructure. Launch infrastructure tends to be complex from an electrical/mechanical perspective. Supporting such a large fleet of rockets at the official launch facility adds even more complexity, plus unknowns. Pre-maiden rockets require lots of engineering verification time at the pad, so having no schedule conflicts is a huge advantage.

No, you'd better not assume 19 types of commercial liquid rockets, because only several will be ready by 2025 and the most capable ones will survive after competition. And you cannot assume there is only one launch pad for commercial liquid rockets (true for 2024) at the Hainan Commercial Launch Site.

@DongfangHour 3 ай бұрын

I agree with you on both points, but let's say that only 5 out of the 19 rockets types survive. That's still quite a low launch frequency (3 launches/rocket type/year). I also agree that further commercial launchpads will be necessary and likely be constructed in the coming years. But as there have been no announcements on these for now, so I think we're looking at the Hainan Commercial Launch Center as the sole launchpad for commercial liquid-fueled rockets for at least the forseeable 2-3 years (except for Landspace and Space Pioneer, for the reasons mentioned in the video) 🤔

@wchengvision 3 ай бұрын

@@DongfangHour Multiplication rule is false here, you need an operational science brain. When the top four capable commercial liquid rockets have successfully delivered payloads to orbit, the later and less capable rockets (than Tianlong-3 and Zhuque-3) can hardly get contracts. For 2024 and 2025, several launches per rocket type per year will be a quite tight schedule for each company to improve its launch vehicle, e.g. partial recovery. And building new launch pad infrastructure is always faster than the development/upgrade of launch vehicles.

Elon had a choice … he could have developed an upgraded Falcon 9 with 9 Raptors. This upscaled enlarged Meth-lox Falcon 9 would have increased payload from 20 tons to 50 tons with lower development cost & risk and shorter schedule than the starship. But Elon is going for economy of scale (size) and a reusable 2nd stage for the best cost per pound to orbit. In 2025 China is proposing to launch a Falcon 9 equivalent using meth-lox engines. I expect China to launch a follow on generation with 2 or more strap-on boosters and a reusable upper stage 5 years from now. This will quickly get them close to starship performance in delivery cost per payload pound
