Recently,Galaxy Power continues to carry out a series of ground thermal tests on the reliability accumulation of the "Cangqiong" liquid oxygen/kerosene engine (CQ-50), all of which have achieved complete success.During the test run, the engine underwent assessments such as rated operating condition long range, working condition deviation, mixture ratio deviation, and entrance condition deviation, etc., and obtained effective data for ground thermal testing.
The results show,Engine combustion efficiency reaches over 96%, the engine performance meets the design requirements and reaches the domestic advanced level of the same level.
The CQ-50 engine is the main power of the Galaxy Power Pallas-1 reusable rocket. It is fully independently developed and is alsoThe first pinbolt variable thrust engine in domestic private aerospace industry.
it usesGas generator cycle, sea level thrust 50 tons, with the capability of multiple starts, reusability and depth change.
The engine extensively uses 3D printing technology, which greatly reduces production costs and improves production efficiency. It has a production capacity of more than 200 units per year to meet the needs of rocket mass production.
The first sub-stage of the Pallas-1 launch vehicle is equipped with seven CQ-50 engines, which is the first seven-engine parallel scheme in China to meet the needs of sub-stage recycling.
Pallas-1 is a medium-to-large reusable liquid oxygen/kerosene launch vehicle, mainly catering to market needs such as large-scale constellation networking and large-scale satellite launches.Takeoff mass 283 tons, the low-orbit carrying capacity is 8 tons, combined with the 10-ton Eros 2 upper stage, the CBC bundled configuration is at least 14 tons, and the expansion can reach 17.5 tons, it is said to be very cost-effective.
Currently, the Pallas-1 carrier rocket has entered the sprint stage before its first flight.
