Launch Startup Deep Blue Aerospace Nebula-1 Rocket Second Stage Vacuum Engine “Thunder RV” Integrated Test



On February 22, 2025, Deep Blue Aerospace successfully conducted the second 340-second full-system test of its self-developed "Thunder RV" liquid oxygen kerosene vacuum engine, designed for the second stage of the Nebula-1 rocket, at the liquid rocket engine testing facility in Jinan, Shandong.

During the 340‑second test run, the maximum temperature at the thrust chamber’s outlet reached 1100 K. Over 285 seconds of dynamic vector precision control, 135 oscillations were executed with rapid and stable responses, and the oscillation servo actuation delay did not exceed 0.03 seconds.

This test validated the rationality and reliability of the engine design.

Thread 'China’s Megaconstellations Take Off'

Yesterday at 12:19 PM

Commercialized Long March 12 rocket could play a role in the construction of China’s LEO megaconstellations

China’s two primary megaconstellations are now under construction, with 2025 set to be a turning point for the projects.

The first launch for the Guowang (“national net”) megaconstellation, aimed at global broadband coverage, took place in December 2024. That meant placing 10 satellites in 1,115 kilometer, 86.5 degree inclination orbits using a Long March 5B. A second launch on Feb 2025 used a smaller Long March 8A rocket to deploy nine satellites into 870...
