CAS Space Rockets into the Future with Kinetica-2 – A Space Odyssey Like Never Before! #SpaceRevolution
In a bid to conquer new frontiers, CAS Space, a rocket company backed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is gearing up for a groundbreaking moment in 2025 with the launch of their much-anticipated Kinetica-2 rocket. This follows the success of their earlier creation, the Kinetica-1 solid rocket, which made headlines by carrying an impressive number of satellites on a single mission.
Now, what sets Kinetica-2 apart? This rocket is built asmedium sized rocket that uses a combination of kerosene and liquid oxygen as fuel, has a length of 174 feet, and boasts an 11-foot width. But the real kicker is its payload capacity – a whopping 17,200 pounds into a special orbit or 26,450 pounds into low Earth orbit. It’s like the heavy-duty delivery truck of the space world.
But CAS Space isn’t stopping there. According to Yang Haoliang, the Vice President of CAS Space, they’re on a mission to make this rocket reusable. This means they want to use parts of it again for future missions. To test this out, the early Kinetica-2 flights will carry experimental payloads, like a trial run for a high-tech recycling program. The big goal? To achieve reusability for the main rocket and boosters by 2028.

What’s fascinating about CAS Space is its focus on the commercial side of space exploration. Born in December 2018 from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, this company isn’t chasing after big government missions. Instead, they’re eyeing the business of space tourism. Imagine a space joyride! Not only that, but they’re also cooking up plans for a wallet-friendly rideshare program, making space science missions more accessible.
As CAS Space launches for the stars, they are building rockets and the space industry, expanding their rocket-making empire. They have set up a rocket plant in Guangzhou and if that’s not enough they are also in the process of building a high-tech rocket engine testing facility in Aotou township, Guangzhou.
So, while others talk about grand missions to Mars, CAS Space is quietly making waves in their own rocket-powered way. The countdown to 2025 is ticking away, and with Kinetica-2, CAS Space is ready to make history in the ever-evolving world of space exploration. Get ready for liftoff!
