Guess what, space fans? 🚀
China just made a big leap in rocket technology by testing three powerful rocket engines all in one day! How cool is that?
On Sunday, scientists in China successfully completed tests on two huge 120-tonne and one 18-tonne liquid oxygen-kerosene engines. These engines help rockets blast off into space! 🛰️
Why is this a big deal?
Well, testing rocket engines is super important. Before rockets can fly, their engines need to be checked to make sure they’re safe and strong enough for the journey. By testing three engines in a single day, China is showing they can get rockets ready faster than ever before!
These tests were done by a team at the Academy of Aerospace Propulsion Technology in the Baolongyu area of Xi’an City, which is in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province.
What does this mean for space missions?
With these speedy tests, China can launch more rockets more often. This helps them explore space, send up satellites, and maybe even plan missions to the Moon or Mars! 🌙🪐
They used new technology and digital tools to cut down the testing time from five days to just two. That’s more time exploring space and less time waiting around! ⏱️
The future is bright for space exploration, and we can’t wait to see what’s next! 🌟
