Chinese engineers successfully carried out three ignition tests on liquid rocket engines in a single day for the first time at a facility in Baolongyu area of Xi'an, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, on Sunday.
The three successful tests, marking China's capability to support the high-frequency launches of the Long March rocket series in the future, were conducted respectively at 09:43, 10:47, and 12:06 for two 120-tonne liquid oxygen and kerosene rocket engines and another 18-tonne one.
It has been the first time for China to test two types of liquid oxygen and kerosene engines, completing three tests of diverse engines in a single day.
Engine testing is a crucial step in the research and development of rocket engines, which involves dozens of different types of tests throughout the research and development process.
The tests conducted Sunday were specifically pre-delivery acceptance tests that help ensure the engines meet the required standards before their delivery for final rocket assembly.
The Baolongyu area has been put into operation for 20 years. In recent years, a series of measures has been adopted, including digital empowerment and technological innovation, to reduce the preparation time for the acceptance tests of the liquid oxygen and kerosene engine from five days to two days. This has significantly boosted working efficiency and helped ensure the timely delivery of the rocket engines for China's next generation launch vehicles.
