State-owned Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST) just demonstrated a 10-km level (first in China) VTVL test with a diameter test article.
️ Official China Space News states the altitude reached to be 12 km. 70 km test, basically covering first stage fight, to follow. First flight in 2025.
️ SAST proposed reusable rockets with 4.0 and 7.0 meter diameters back in 2022
️ SAST back then suggested using commercial methalox engines from Jiuzhou Yunjian. CASC is meanwhile developing the YF-209. It’s understood that SAST has used JZYJ engines for an earlier, undisclosed VTVL test.
