Gravity-2

Orienspace's next rocket: a 70 m kerosene-fueled launcher meant to lift about 21.5 tonnes to low Earth orbit, with a first stage that is recovered and reused.

Why it matters

It would move Orienspace from mid-sized solid rockets into the heavy-lift class needed to deploy large constellations, and add another reusable option in China.

How the technology works

Nine Yuanli-110 kerosene and liquid-oxygen engines power a 4.2 m core stage that is designed to be recovered. One vacuum version of the same engine drives the second stage.

The fairing is 5.2 m wide.
