The first rocket made in Chizhou, Anhui is fully assembled

On May 17th, Anhui Xinghe Power Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. held a ceremony for the rocket final assembly and the commissioning of the rocket engine test base. The first "Zhishenxing-1" liquid-fueled carrier rocket made in Chizhou was successfully assembled, marking the official industrialization of Chizhou's commercial rockets.

Zhishenxing-1

It is reported that the fully assembled "Zhishenxing-1" liquid-fueled carrier rocket is 52 meters long and 3.35 meters in diameter, with a takeoff weight of 257 tons. Its core power is the "Cangqiong" liquid oxygen/kerosene engine with a deep thrust throttling capability of 40%-105%. The multi-backflow vortex cone-shaped gas generator, coaxial double-suction turbo pump, and multi-functional integrated combination valve used in the "Zhishenxing-1" are all domestically pioneered and are also at the leading international level. The liquid-fueled carrier rocket assembled this time will make its maiden flight next year and is expected to support about 50 reusable launches in the future.
