This achievement surpasses the previous single-engine run record in the 100-tonne class, also held by China, which was set less than half a year ago. According to the corporation, this latest trial represents a significant enhancement in the comprehensive performance and reliability required of the main engine for future crewed lunar missions.
Furthermore, the corporation reports that the test operational time of the engine exceeded the necessary mission operation time by more than tenfold. This particular feat serves as a substantial endorsement of the rocket engine's reliability, solidifying its place in China's upcoming lunar exploration missions. The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation continues to advance in the field, setting new records and paving the way for the future of space exploration.
