The company is developing the medium-class orbital launch vehicle“Nebula-1.” The rocket will use the 20-ton-thrustkerolox engine named Leiting-20.[1][3]
In October 2021, the company completed a 100-meter level launch and landing test with its Nebula M1 VTVL test stage.[4]
In January 2022, the company secured nearly $31.5 million in funding.[5][6][7] On April 19, the company announced a new round of funding led by CMBC International Holdings, which will be put towards developing the Nebula-1, the "Thunder" engine series, and other manufacturing processes.[8][9] The amount raised was not disclosed.[8]
On May 6, 2022, the Nebula M1 completed a one kilometer test, that included a vertical takeoff and vertical landing (VTVL) aboveTongchuan, Shaanxi Providence.[1]
In Sept 2024, A hop test, which was the first flight test of the Thunder-R kerosene-liquid oxygen engines, had a hard landing.[10]
In 2022, the first orbital launch and recovery of the Nebula-1 was planned for late 2024.[1][11] It's now planned for mid-2025.[12]
Nebula-2 is a medium to heavy-lift liquid-fuelled rocket powered by liquid oxygen and kerosene capable of lifting 20,000 kg of payload intoLEO. The rocket is planned to be launched in late 2025.[13]
