China has successfully completed the vertical high-altitude simulation test of liquid engines for a new generation of manned rockets, according to the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

This ignition test was conducted at China's newly constructed vertical high-altitude simulation test stand, the longest of its kind in the world.

The test shows the nation's ability to conduct high-altitude simulation tests for liquid engines for extended periods of thousands of seconds. This greatly enhances China's capability in high-altitude simulation testing of liquid rocket engines, paving the way for manned lunar exploration project.
