In fact, everything has similarities, such as launch vehicle and intercontinental missiles. Everyone knows that the role of rockets is to launch satellites into outer space and perform their functions. The strength of a country's aerospace capabilities largely depends on the strength of its launch vehicles. Powerful launch vehicles, such as the heavy-lift launch vehicle , can complete the launch mission of multiple satellites with one rocket. It is difficult for a weak launch vehicle to launch a satellite. If a country wants to make its aerospace capabilities stronger, the strength of its launch vehicles must be improved. What is the gap between the top three powerful countries in the world in terms of their maximum thrust capabilities of launch vehicles?
The United States has the strongest aerospace capabilities, so what is the strength of their launch vehicles? The United States has the world's top heavy-lift launch vehicle technology. The United States once built a heavy-lift launch vehicle called the Saturn 5. The maximum thrust of this launch vehicle can reach 4,000 tons. So how big is this heavy-lift launch vehicle? According to American experts, the height of this launch vehicle is about 100 meters. If it is erected, it will seem to go straight into the sky. It would take eight adults holding hands to hold it in diameter. Although the United States has abandoned this heavy-lift launch vehicle because the maintenance cost is too high, they chose to purchase heavy-lift launch vehicles from Russia. Although it has been abandoned, it has also witnessed the glorious strength of the American heavy-lift launch vehicle.
What is the strength of Russia's heavy-lift launch vehicle? In fact, in the field of launch vehicles, the Soviet Union still has the most strength. During the Soviet period, they built an N1 rocket with a maximum thrust of an astonishing 4,800 tons. Later, the Soviet Union disintegrated, and the launch vehicle was inherited by Russia. In fact, the Soviet Union left many heavy-lift launch vehicles to Russia, and Russia did not sell all its weapons, equipment and technology like and Ukraine did. Russia cherishes what the Soviet Union left to them, and has been studying heavy-lift launch vehicle technology for many years. It is really stronger than the United States in this regard.
Many people may be eager to know the thrust of China's launch vehicles. China's achievements in the aerospace field in recent years are obvious to all. But despite our efforts, we have never been able to make breakthrough progress on heavy-lift launch vehicles. At present, my country's launch vehicle is still dominated by the Long March-5, with a maximum thrust of about 1,800 tons. Although there is news that my country's Long March-9 is a heavy-duty launch vehicle with a maximum thrust of more than 3,000 tons. But so far, I still hold the pipa half-hidden, and everything will have to wait until the actual service can be finalized.
