On July 8th, the Focus One Reusable Liquid Oxygen Methane Engine, independently developed by the Chinese private space company Beijing Interplanetary Glory Space Technology Co., Ltd., successfully passed the continuous variable thrust long-range test run with a test run time of 200 seconds. This test verified the correctness of the thrust adjustment system of the Focus 1 engine, and obtained accurate data on the continuous variable thrust function and performance of the Focus 1 engine. The test was a complete success.
In the future, the Focus I series configuration engine will be used on the reusable launch vehicle "Hyperbola II" independently developed by Interplanetary Glory, with 9 units installed in the first stage and 1 unit installed in the second stage. Interplanetary Glory plans to break through the 100-kilometer vertical take-off and landing test of the hyperbolic No. 2 sub-class and fully master the reusable launch vehicle technology, and will perform the first flight of the hyperbolic No. 2 carrier rocket in 2021.
