The test bed simulates high-altitude conditions for liquid engines, replicating a near-vacuum environment (below kilopascal level) for thousands of seconds. This breakthrough fills a critical gap, paving the way for advanced engine development for China's upcoming major space projects and future heavy-lift launch vehicles.
