China's Star Glory: New Liquid Rocket Engine for Commercial Reusabe Rockets

Star Glory’s Mianyang base has completed the first Focus-2 engine for the reusable Hyberbola-3 rocket. The 100-ton, 2.8 m methane-oxygen engine uses 3D printing and all-electric controls, is undergoing rigorous testing, and supports a production capacity of 50 engines per year—enabling faster iteration for China’s medium-to-large reusable liquid rockets and advancing low-cost, routine commercial launches.
