Pallas-1
The Pallas-1 (Chinese: 智神星一号; pinyin: Zhìshénxīng Yī-hào; lit. 'Zhishenxing-1') is a medium-lift orbital launch vehicle under development by Galactic Energy. It features seven Welkin engines burning RP-1 and liquid oxygen (kerolox) in its first stage. The first stage will have legs and grid fins to allow for stage recovery by vertical landing (much like the SpaceX Falcon 9).
Pallas-1 is planned to be capable of placing a 5-tonne payload into low Earth orbit (LEO), or a 3-tonne payload into a 700-kilometer Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO). The first launch of the rocket was scheduled to take place in November 2024,[needs update] while an initial attempt at first stage recovery using landing legs is slated for 2025.
Using three Pallas-1 booster cores as its first stage, Pallas-1B (Chinese: 智神星一号乙) will be capable of putting a 17.5-tonne payload into low Earth orbit.
