China's Space Program News Thread

[Blitzo]

So the article details is: 张智,徐洪平,邓新宇,何兆伟.新一代载人登月运载火箭总体方案和关键技术[J].载人航天,2022,28(04):427-432

And can be found here, but requires CNKI account or ability to pay through RMB methods, which I can't do practically.

I haven't been able to find a way to access it through other alternative venues and it doesn't seem like Manned Space Flight journal has their own dedicated website as some Chinese journals do where you can find the full article.
Anyone been able to find a copy of the full article?

Nice one, thanks.

Looking through the paper, I can't find any references or allusion to the rocket intending to be VTVL reusable, but it's also possible that it may not be included in this specific paper and might in a different dedicated one.

That said, given past strong indications that they did want this rocket to be VTVL capable it is a bit odd that it's not mentioned at all.

This paper is dedicated to the manned moon mission. The mission requires 27t to LTO (crew module and service module being 25t in total), the LEO mass would be 70t. It is the max capacity, meaning none of the core or boosters have any fuel left for landing.

VTVL is only meant for the single stick two stage variant for near earth mission.

It seems that this is clearly stated in

[The Observer]

@Blitzo I think it's about time to open a new thread on this topic. This thread is getting a bit too long

 

[H2O]

To further add to The Observer's comment, maybe have a separate thread for each project / topic (i..e Moon, Mars, Tiangong, ILRS, Launch vehicles, etc...).
