The four parallel liquid oxygen kerosene (kerolox) YF-100K engines generated a total thrust of more than 500 tons in the test, as per CASC.

China has completed the ignition test of its most powerful liquid-propellant engine designed for its Long March rocket program.

“Engines built with the pump back swing technology are typically more compact,” Li said. “For instance, we can fit four of them into a 3.8m-wide first-stage rocket, and seven into a 5m-wide first-stage.”CASC has yet to reveal which of its rockets will be powered by the four parallel YF-100K engines. However, it has stated that they will be used for a Long March launch vehicle model that will debut in 2024.

NASA is gearing up for its future lunar and Mars missions with the Artemis III and IV programs. Accordingly, the Space Launch System rocket is evolving to meet the challenge.
