Recently, the core power system of Deep Blue Aerospace's large reusable launch vehicle "Nebula II" has made another key progress in research and development. The "Thunder-RS", the domestic largest thrust liquid oxygen kerosene variable thrust engine, successfully completed two full-duration ignition tests of 5 seconds and 40 seconds. This engine can produce a thrust of up to 130 tons, making it the largest domestically produced pintle-type liquid oxygen kerosene engine. This successful milestone signifies that the engine has officially surpassed the steady-state working threshold and also indicates that the engineering validation of the "Nebula II" rocket's power system has entered a new stage of high density and fast pace.
