China's Space Program Thread II
- Thread starter Blitzo
- Start date
They've added a layer of heat shield on the top
the barge presumably has no one on board during recovery?
This is the J-20/Type-055 moment for the Chinese Space Program. Congrats!
Some additional details from state media which are not new but corroborate some stuff that we've known
-CZ-10B has a 16t payload to LEO in reusable configuration.
-CZ-10C definitely seems to be in the works and will have a new larger methalox first stage while using the same methalox second stage of CZ-10B.
-Based on the description of CZ-10Bs second stage doing risk reduction on CZ-10C, past existing suspicion that CZ-10Cs first stage may use the same YF-219 engine does rise a little bit
I wouldn't go that far.
More like the J-10B moment

Why was that? Is it from the government ?
