天龙三号火箭“一箭36星”分离试验取得成功

Core Insights - Tianbing Technology successfully completed the "One Arrow 36 Stars" separation test for the Tianlong-3 large liquid launch vehicle, marking a significant breakthrough in China's commercial space industry for multi-satellite deployment and heavy-lift delivery capabilities [1][2] Group 1: Technological Advancements - The traditional multi-satellite separation technology has several drawbacks, including high safety risks, high costs, significant impact on satellites, pollution, lack of pre-launch testing, and low space utilization [1] - Tianbing Technology pioneered the "One Arrow 36 Stars" launch technology, developing an integrated design solution for the rocket and separation mechanism, which utilizes a memory alloy unlocking mechanism [1] - The new separation system demonstrated a 90% reduction in impact strength, a 60% reduction in weight, zero emissions, and a cost that is only 30% of traditional solutions [1] Group 2: Market Position and Future Plans - The Tianlong-3 is China's first commercial launch vehicle with a near-Earth orbit capacity expected to exceed 20 tons, with a total length of 72 meters and a launch weight of approximately 600 tons, scheduled for its maiden flight by the end of 2025 [2] - The rocket's high capacity, low cost, and reusability align well with China's urgent needs for frequent and large-scale satellite internet constellation launches, as well as supporting large cargo transport for the space station and medium-to-high orbit satellite launches [2] - Tianbing Technology has established a comprehensive chain covering rocket self-research, large-scale manufacturing, and dedicated launch facilities, with an initial capacity to produce 30 Tianlong-3 rockets and 500 Tianhu series engines annually [2]
