500-Ton Vertical Two-Station Liquid Rocket Engine Test Bench Completed

TapTechNews May 30th news, TapTechNews learned from the official WeChat public account of the Sixth Research Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology Group that today, the 500-ton vertical two-station liquid rocket engine test bench developed and constructed by the Sixth Research Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology Group was completed and put into use, which will strongly guarantee the development of reusable launch vehicles and heavy launch rockets in China.

The test bench was developed and constructed by the 101 Institute and is a flexible, intelligent, and digital vertical two-station liquid rocket engine test bench. Through the adoption of means such as the whole process collaborative design based on the digital model, the integrated measurement and control system, and the all-digital management, the test bench can realize the automation of the test process, remote and off-site collaborative command, and real-time fault diagnosis of the test system.

Developing aerospace requires power first. This test bench is 'ersatile'. In addition to meeting the needs of the development and test of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen rocket engines, it can also meet the test requirements of single engines of multiple types of propellant engines such as liquid oxygen and methane, as well as the test requirements of the propulsion system of launch rockets. After the completion of the Laiyuan Test Center, it will strongly enhance the test and verification level of liquid rocket engines in China and continuously improve the test capacity system of liquid rocket engines in China.
