CAS Space Tests Liqing-1 and Liqing-2 Engines

CAS Space completed key hot-fire tests for its Liqing-1 and Liqing-2 engines on November 12. The 30-tonne Liqing-1 ignited four times with over 2,000 seconds cumulative time, while the 110-tonne Liqing-2 ran for more than 1,000 seconds with over 5,000 seconds cumulative time. These engines power reusable rockets Lihong-2 and Kinetica-2, advancing China's reusable launch vehicle development.
