IT House news on May 8, according to the official WeChat news of Deep Blue Aerospace, on May 6, 2022, the “Nebulas-M” No. 1 test rocket independently developed by Deep Blue Aerospace completed a 1-kilometer vertical take-off and landing (VTVL) flight During the test, the rocket moved laterally during the climb and fall, and finally landed at a point less than 0.5 meters from the “bull’s eye” position of the landing site, and the “Nebula-M” test rocket was successfully recovered.
The arrow body used in this kilometer-level test is still the “Nebula-M” No. 1 test arrow, which has performed 3 flight missions and 7 ground static ignitions, truly realizing the recyclability and reuse of liquid launch vehicles; The equipped “Thunder-5” engine is the first needle-type liquid oxygen and kerosene engine that uses 3D printing technology to realize the whole machine manufacturing.The completion of this mission announced that Deep Blue Aerospace has climbed to a new height in the history of China’s reusable and reusable rockets, and has taken a solid step towards the successful realization of orbit and recovery.
From July to October 2021, the “Nebula-M” test rocket has successively completed the 10-meter and 100-meter VTVL vertical recovery flight tests, achieving two zero breakthroughs in domestic liquid oxygen and kerosene rockets. In May 2022, the same rocket once again refreshed a new test height.Deep Blue Aerospace has become the fastest Chinese commercial aerospace company in the world outside the United States to develop and recycle rockets.
This kilometer-level VTVL vertical recovery flight test marks that Deep Blue Aerospace achieved the same level of test results achieved by SpaceX’s 8 launch tests in more than a year in 2012-2013 in only 10 months and 3 launch tests. Deep Blue Aerospace has become the second company in the world to complete all low-altitude engineering tests for vertical recovery and reuse of liquid oxygen and kerosene rockets.
IT House learned that the first company in the world to complete all low-altitude engineering tests for the vertical recovery and reuse of liquid oxygen kerosene rockets is SpaceX in the United States.
Huo Liang, CEO of Deep Blue Aerospace, said: The use of recycling and multiplexing launch vehicles to build an aerospace round-trip transportation system is one of the keys for mankind to develop space resources and move towards “Deep Blue”.
The success of Deep Blue Aerospace’s “Nebula-M” rocket kilometer-level VTVL vertical recovery flight test also announced a successful conclusion to the low-altitude recovery stage, and the “Nebula-M” No. 1 test rocket successfully completed its historical mission. In the next stage, Deep Blue Aerospace will use the same full-scale test rocket as the orbital rocket to continue the high-altitude recovery test stage (similar to the recovery test carried out by SpaceX’s second stage with the full-scale prototype “Falcon 9R”), It will make rapid breakthroughs towards the height of 10km and 100km, and finally realize the controllable recovery and reuse of the first sub-stage of the orbiting rocket.
