Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen grass Luo Yuzi for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, July 12, Blue Arrow Aerospace Science and Technology Co., Ltd. now announces that the flight test mission of Vermilion Bird-2 remote 2 carrier rocket has been a complete success, becoming the world's first liquid oxygen methane rocket into orbit, marking a major breakthrough in the application of new low-cost liquid propellants for Chinese carrier rockets.

Vermilion Bird-2 carrier rocket is a liquid oxygen methane rocket, which is a new type of dual cryogenic liquid fuel carrier rocket independently developed by Blue Arrow Aerospace. It is also the only liquid rocket in China's commercial rocket field to carry out flight verification through the self-developed full-arrow power system.

▲ Vermilion Bird 2 remote 2 Rocket Source: blue Arrow Aerospace according to Blue Arrow official sources, the Vermilion Bird 2 remote 2 carrier rocket arrived at the Jiuquan rocket launch site on May 12, and the company announced in early June that it would start the final assembly of Vermilion Bird 2 remote 3 rocket.

The purpose of this launch mission is to verify the independent development capability of the whole system of Vermilion Bird II liquid carrier rocket and to challenge the outstanding goal of the world's first liquid oxygen methane rocket into orbit, which is of milestone significance.

Vermilion Bird-2 telemetry-2 carrier rocket is a two-stage cryogenic liquid carrier rocket with a diameter of 3.35m, a total length of 49.5m, a take-off mass of 219t and a take-off thrust of 268t. It is the first and largest liquid oxygen methane carrier rocket in China.

The first stage of the rocket uses four "Tianque" 80-ton liquid oxygen methane engines in parallel; the rocket second-stage engine uses a single "Tianque" 80-ton liquid oxygen methane engine and "Tianque" 10-ton swimming liquid oxygen methane engine, and the configuration of the main engine is the same as that of the first-class engine. The rocket stages are separated by cold separation, and the fairing is separated by spinning separation.

▲ Vermilion Bird II carrier rocket, Tuyuan Blue Arrow Space official website according to previous reports by CTOnews.com, the Vermilion Bird II telemetry carrier rocket ignited and took off from the China Jiuquan Satellite launch Center at 16:30 on December 14, 2022. The first-stage flight, the first-and second-stage separation, the two-stage ignition, and the fairing separation were all normal. After the secondary mainframe was shut down, the tour plane shut down abnormally and the launch mission failed.
