Landspace & the Rise of Chinese Liquid-fueled Commercial Rockets 

That’s OK, my name usually gets pronounced something like “摔死了”😂

The name came from ancient Chinese myth, Zhuque is one of the four sacred beasts (actually are gods). They are the symbols that ancient Chinese used in astrology and astronomy. Thought these are fun to know.

@@kk66 wasn't there another Chinese private launch vehicle named after dragon? Now we need Tiger and Turtle series to complete the collection 😜

Jew Chew Eh? As a Canadian I can confirm that yes, Jews do chew their food. 😂

@@dalel3608funny 😆👍

U from 🇵🇰🤔🤔

Thanks Jenifer!

@@DongfangHour hey can you tell me what's the music name 4:20 , please

It's called "Seasons of Sapmi", by Magnus Ludvigsson

Being able to beat SpaceX is not a small achievement.

@@jrkr7357 Yep 🙂

Thanks for your helpful support @infinityxu! Really appreciate it 🙂

I thought exactly same😊

You can call its full name using "land your dream in space", that will avoid "landscape"😂

Me too

Alphabetical order doesn't affect reading🤣

The autocorrection of many smartphones also have the same issue: you type Landspace and it suddenly turns to Landscape 😂 The same thing also happens when you do a Google search with "Landspace".

Thank you for your support ❤️

Thanks for the kind words and for subscribing 😊

every private vehicle provider in every space power needs government approval, its not exclusive to china, space x survived because nasa contracts. theres no such thing as lobbying in china since the chinese government operates in such a unique way. the contracts available will be leased out in auctions, if you beat casa rockets in cost and efficiency, the money is yours. its a common misconception that the cpc government works the same way as the soviets (if they do they will be long gone), in fact, they are not even socialists government to begin with.

The Zhuque-2 uses 4x TQ-12 engines on the first stage. They're a gas generator cycle methalox engine, a more simple architecture compared to the Raptor's FFSC approach. Thrust levels are also very different: the TQ-12 is at ~80 tons, the Raptor engine is more around ~250 tons.

Correct (although it’s manufacturing in Huzhou. HQs are in Beijing)

@@DongfangHour Got it, thanks.👍I was trying to visit them back in 2019, but it didn't work out.

😁

That was indeed a risk with changing the logo...

It’s basically a Vermillion (mythical creature). It doesn’t directly translate as “red bird”

iSpace, Space Epoch, Rocket Pi. iSpace makes their own engine, while the latter two companies purchase them from the Chinese manufacturer JZYJ.

It's not just software, there's also a lot of propulsion tech (engines that can re-ignite and throttle down to 50% thrust), mechanical engineering (landing legs, control surfaces), testing, ...

@@DongfangHour They should implement artificial intelligence like what they done with driverless car...i think it's the same idea. Yes, once you master the propulsion tech...then everything is control by the software and should be done automatically through AI. In the future, it'll be molecular engine where AI know exactly how to land a rocket without human intervention.

It's a combination of effort, but primary factor is increase dry mass ratio as much as possible.. The reason Falcon 9 is so successful as reusable launch vehicle is because its high dry mass ratio thanks to its Merlin engine and new aluminium alloy, the higher the dry mass ratio, the more fuel it can carry for landing and its effect on upper stage is less during design phase. Software won't do it alone, since if rocket being reused has low dry mass, after you load it with landing fuel, it won't have enough delta V to send upper stage. If you increase the total fuel it carries to compensate for delta V, you will end up with a catch 22 and exponentially growing fuel requirement. Also, the same alloy that granted Falcon 9's high dry mass ratio is the same reason that it can't be reused more than 20 times (unless SpaceX does some magic), since its strength after each duty cycle falls rapidly, unlikely stainless steel, and it will suffer structural failure if same first stage is reused too much.

Also about the fuel. Methane gives off Less heat and is cleaner than kerosene. Allow rocket to be reusable.

​@@pohmoh3590If India can use this technology to fuel their rockets, they can send satellites into orbit cheap by collecting farts.

Oh for sure 😅

Methane is Natural Gas. (Methane, Ethane etc etc)

You westerners live in a bubble. Only western governments who now have this sudden urge to "derisk" from China. The rest of the world doesn't have that problem. And I mean the REAL rest of the world, not the puny minority 15% of the world's population who live in the west but always think that: 1. they represent the whole world; 2. the majority 85% have the same opinion as theirs about everything at all times. That's just simply delusional. Not only that, the value of goods imported from China by all western countries (including the US) keeps increasing despite the nonstop anti-China war rhetoric you hear from Washington. Western politicans can say all they want and gullible nobodies like you are fooled into thinking that every country also wants to cut ties with China. But trade data show that businesses all over the world desperately needs everincreasing supply of Chinese products. I have no doubt in my mind that private Chinese rocket companies have no problem at all finding clients all over the world.

You are so brainwashed. Do you know that less than 40 countries support USA and over 150 countries support China? When your Western Media says "The World" it only mean the "Western World, and a couple of Asian ones that consider themselves " Western". There are 193 countries in the World, not 40...

​@@multiplierfx6429lmao..... live in western bubble? Hahaha.... u will never get my point.....

​@@hclau218brainwash? Hahaha.... another one u never get my point....

@@naieuc Read your own post, carefully.

Your assumption is SpaceX has advanced technology that China wants. Your Wrong assumption is derived from American exceptionalism mentality - a common disease in USA. When technology ain’t worth the patent , it’s free. Why should Chinese rocket scientists use inferior SpaceX technology when today’s Chinese rocketry is better.

China already beated SpaceX with the first successful methane fuel rocket launch

Landspace is the First-ever successful 🎉

China can build better,why should copy the inferior one 😁

China and Spacex use different fuels.

Thanks for your support! It means a lot ☺️
