CALT is developing a reusable suborbital spaceplane that completed its second flight in late August.
The Long March 2C rocket used for the 2022-10-12 launch was provided by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT).
CALT manufactures the kerosene-liquid oxygen Long March 5 and Long March 7 rockets and is developing the kerolox super heavy-lift Long March 9.
Both SAST and CALT produce Long March launch vehicles and provide different launch capabilities while creating a level of competition within CASC.
The proposed SAST launch vehicles would provide a development path for new Chinese launch capabilities separate from those being developed by the Beijing-based China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT).
The China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology is developing the Long March 8 for reusability and plans for its super heavy-lift crew rocket and the Long March 9 to eventually be made reusable.
The CASC spaceplane project was unveiled in 2017 when senior CALT official Chen Hongbo presented plans for an under-development reusable spacecraft slated for testing in 2020 and ultimately capable of carrying both crew and payloads.
CALT plans for its first reusable rocket, thought to be the Long March 8, to complete relevant flight tests within China’s 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021–2025).
CALT announced completion of structural tests related to the CZ5DY earlier 2022-08 and tested titanium engine components for the launcher in April.
The Lijian-1 is similar in capabilities to the Jielong-3 (Smart Dragon-3) rocket developed by China Rocket, a spinoff from the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT).
CALT established a nearby final assembly and test base that supported a Long March 11 sea launch in May.
A senior official from the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology presented a plan for using a reusable Long March 9 super-heavy launch vehicle to construct a space-based power station in geostationary orbit.
CALT’s methalox system would be capable of launching around 20 metric tons to low Earth orbit.
CALT has been developing a new-generation launch vehicle for human spaceflight that builds on breakthroughs made for the Long March 5.
CALT plans to launch four to five Long March 11 solid rockets during 2022.
The China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT) had plans to conduct two or three sea launches of Long March 11 during 2021, but none took place.
The China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology planned seven further Long March 3B launches before the end of the year, and three of those launches had taken place by the time of reporting.
China planned to launch seven additional Long March 3B rockets in the remaining five months of 2021, according to CALT.
Chen Hongbo of CASC’s China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT) described in 2017 that the planned reusable spacecraft would be capable of carrying both crew and payloads and that some vehicles would have characteristics of both aircraft and spacecraft.
The China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology developed the Long March-3B rocket used to launch Fengyun-4B.
