Asia's largest thrust test stand equipped with 700-metric-ton engine test capacity

China on Tuesday successfully conducted a trial run for a high-thrust test stand for liquid-propellant rocket engine at a test center in Tongchuan, northwest China's Shaanxi Province. 　

The test bench is so far the largest for liquid-propellant rocket engine in Asia. 　

The successful trial marks　that two stations　of the test bench　had been equipped with a load capacity of 700-metric-ton thrust. 　

It will facilitate China's liquid power research and test, providing a strong support for the implementation of the country's major space projects including heavy-lift carrier rocket, manned lunar landing and deep space exploration.
