Tianbing Technology

Tianbing Technology is a high-tech enterprise in China's commercial aerospace sector that has taken the lead in developing LOX/kerosene rocket engines and medium-to-large liquid launch vehicles. Its independently developed reusable LOX/kerosene liquid launch vehicle can provide satellite users with low-cost, high-reliability customized launch services, as well as a complete service system including satellite-rocket integration, launch site coordination, launch tracking and control, and insurance technical support.

Meanwhile, Tianbing Technology can provide complete power system products for various vehicle platforms. Its independently developed general-purpose engine products, ranging from small thrust to medium and large thrust, cover from 3000N to 100t, perfectly matching satellite propulsion systems, supersonic vehicle propulsion systems, and main propulsion systems for rockets and defense products. They feature excellent performance, low cost, non-toxic and non-polluting properties, multiple reignition capability, and deep thrust throttling.

Based on the 'Tianhuo' engine, Tianbing Technology has independently developed the 'Tianlong' series of liquid launch vehicles, covering medium-to-large, heavy, and crewed product types. Among them, the Tianlong-2 LOX/kerosene launch vehicle successfully completed its maiden flight at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on April 2, 2023. The successful first flight of the Tianlong-2 launch vehicle set multiple new records in both international and domestic aerospace:
1. The first successful orbital flight of a private global space liquid launch vehicle;
2. The first launch vehicle in the world to use coal-based aerospace kerosene;
3. The first liquid launch vehicle in China not relying on a launch pad;
4. The first launch vehicle in China to use a 3D-printed high-pressure staged combustion engine;
5. The first launch vehicle in China to use a three-engine parallel technology;
6. The first launch vehicle in China to use an all-aluminum alloy surface tension tank for attitude and orbit control;
7. The first launch vehicle in China to achieve reusable structures;
8. The first liquid launch vehicle in China to implement active controlled deorbit reentry of its upper stage.

Tianbing Technology's core team members all come from national aerospace groups such as CASC and CASIC. Currently, it has formed a 'Three Major Centers and Five Major Platforms' aerospace intelligent manufacturing system, represented by the Beijing Rocket R&D Center, Xi'an Power R&D Center, Zhengzhou Power Test Center, and Zhangjiagang Intelligent Manufacturing Base, as well as a product strategic layout of 'Three Engines and Two Rockets'. It also has a supply chain system 'based in the Yangtze River Delta and radiating across the country', and a launch market network 'based in China and facing the world'. The company strives to build a world-class commercial aerospace enterprise and make unique contributions to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the prosperity of the global space economy.
