Wow wow, it looks so cool, right!!
And do you find this familiar? I know what are you thinking in mind.
But this is not Starship. In fact, it is only a mini Starship developed by Space Epoch – a new Chinese startup.
Well, it is hardly a breaking news that China has long adored and envied the tracks of Space X.
Musk has even consistently welcomed competition and China is entering the arena with its own brand of reusable orbital rockets.
China has set massive targets to meet in space transport and it plans to meet them using the idea of reusables.
So, is China ready to launch it, and how it is compared to SpaceX’s starship rocket?
How China can surpass the U.S. in space by copying SpaceX?
Find out everything about this in today’s episode of Alpha Tech:
Space Epoch is a most recent new entrant into China’s nascent commercial launch sector and has big ambitions. It secured an undisclosed amount of angel round of funding in August last year and later conducted pressure tests on 3-meter-diameter and 4-meter-diameter thin-walled stainless steel tanks.
Its press releases state that it is determined to become the leader of China’s interplanetary transportation system and contribute to the country’s national space infrastructure and requirement for increased launch capacity.
Importantly, Space Epoch recently performed a series of tests of a 4.2-meter-diameter stainless steel propellant tank combined with a Longyun-70 methane-liquid oxygen engine developed by engine maker Jiuzhou Yunjian. The tests took place at Jiuzhou Yunjian’s test site in Anhui Province.
The tests are part of Beijing-based Space Epoch earlier revealed plans to develop a 64-meter-tall stainless steel launcher capable of lifting 6.5 tons to a 1,100-kilometer-altitude sun-synchronous orbit. The launcher will be able to be reused up to 20 times.
