In China for the first time delivered a parcel with a rocket: what is known

8-meter stainless steel rocket weighing 57 tons reached an altitude of 2. 5 km and successfully landed on the sea surface in Shandun. After a 18-hour rocket recovery operation, the rocket was removed whole. The rocket housing had no signs of damage or leakage, and the engines and electrical equipment in the tail compartment were in good condition, SEPoch representatives were informed by the missile development.

The volume of the rocket cargo compartment is 120 cubic meters, it is designed for transportation up to 10 tons and can theoretically carry cars and small trucks. "Please check the parcel!"-wrote the founder of Sepoch Wei I. The collaboration of the missile company with Taobao owned by Alibaba has marked the beginning of China's studies of the point-point missile transportation.

This technology can make a revolution in world logistics, reducing the time of intercontinental delivery from several days to minutes. At the same time, Wei acknowledged that the current costs are still too high for usual deliveries to consumers. Therefore, they will first be delivery emergency, elimination of natural disasters or supply to remote areas.

"Due to the regular use of multiple missiles and stainless steel use in engineering processes, it is expected that the cost of delivery of missiles will be significantly reduced," he said. According to CAO Man Aerospace Expert, missile delivery is a long -term plan, although one day it can provide a real global "lightning delivery". "Numerous tests are needed to check the technology of multiple rocket recovery, as well as the durability and durability of the rocket body," CAO said.
