Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, November 6, the 14th Zhuhai Air Show was held at the Zhuhai International Air Show Center from November 8 to 13 this year, and many physical objects or models of advanced aerospace equipment were placed on the booth. In the space booth, we saw the latest reusable configuration of the booster-free polished rod, which is the latest configuration of the long March 9 heavy carrier rocket and the new generation of manned carrier rocket.

From this model, we can also see that under the same proportional volume, the model of the largest rocket in use in our country, the long March 5, is much smaller than the long March 9, and even has a volume difference of several times.

It is worth mentioning that there are obviously four grid rudders in the middle of the model, which means it can be recycled, which is similar to the idea of Musk SpaceX Falcon / heavy Falcon, when the first-stage rocket sends the second-and third-stage rocket and payload into space, it can return to Earth again and complete the recovery.

Xinhua News Agency previously said that China's long March 9 heavy carrier rocket has achieved phased research results, and mission planning is expected to make its maiden flight after 2030, CTOnews.com reported.

According to the information released so far, the long March 9 rocket was established in September 2016. at present, its first, second and third stage engines are all in the final stage of successful development, and the rocket shell, fairing, and inter-stage rings have also been offline a long time ago. officials publicly said last year that the long March 9 super-heavy carrier rocket is expected to successfully fly within five years.

The core-stage arrow of this type of heavy launch vehicle is 10 meters in diameter and uses a "smooth rod" configuration without a booster, with a carrying capacity of 150 tons in low-earth orbit and 50 tons in earth-moon transfer orbit.

Liu Bing, chief rocket designer of the first Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology Group, said that the carrying capacity of heavy carrier rockets is larger than that of China's active launch vehicles, and it will greatly improve China's space exploration capability. it will play a greater role in the exploration of the moon and Mars and further exploration of the solar system. In the future, heavy carrier rockets may be reusable, making the launch cost of rockets lower.

"our own heavy rocket: long March 9 is expected to fly within five years, carrying a man to the moon, exploring Mars and other missions."
