摘要:

生存在古丝绸之路上河西走廊的朱雀家族成立了蓝箭基地,一直在探索环保、经济和安全的助推剂。小朱雀来参观,了解了多种液体推进剂,有推力巨大但容易积碳的液氧煤油、环保但耗能的液氧液氢、稳定但有毒性的偏二甲肼和四氧化二氮,最后他们了解到由蓝箭基地发射的朱雀二号运载火箭是全球首枚以液氧甲烷为推进剂的火箭。甲烷有丰富的储量、温和的储存条件和运输安全性、燃烧充分而且产物无污染,在未来有更广阔的用途。

Abstract:

The Zhuque family, who lived in the Hexi Corridor on the ancient Silk Road, established LANDSPACE and has been exploring environmental, economic, and safety propellants. Little Zhuque visited LANDSPACE and learned about various liquid propellants, including liquid oxygen and kerosene with high thrust but easy carbon accumulation, environmentally friendly liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen with high energy consumption, stable but toxic unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide. Finally, they discovered that the Zhuque Two carrier rocket, launched by LANDSPACE, was the world's first rocket to use liquid oxygen and methane as propellants. Liquid oxygen and methane are expected to have broader applications in the future due to their abundant reserves, easy storage conditions, safe transportation, complete combustion, and pollution-free combustion products.
