China's First Private Liquid-Fuel Rocket Launches Successfully

Key Achievements

Beijing Tianbing Technology Co. successfully launched a kerosene-oxygen rocket on Sunday.
The TL-2 rocket, developed by Space Pioneer, is the first privately built liquid-fuel rocket to reach orbit in China.
The rocket is capable of lifting 15 tons of payload to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and aims to launch batches of up to 60.

The launch marks a significant step forward for China's private space industry.
It demonstrates the growing capabilities of Chinese private companies in the aerospace sector.
The TL-2 rocket is expected to enhance China's ability to launch satellites and other payloads into space.

The TL-2 rocket is a two-stage, liquid-propellant rocket with a length of approximately 50 meters.
It uses a kerosene-oxygen engine in its first stage and a hydrogen-oxygen engine in its second stage.
The rocket is designed to lift up to 15 tons of payload to LEO, which is comparable to the capabilities of China's state-owned rockets.
