On April 27, in a drizzle, Storm was carefully hoisted and attached upright to the central core stage of the New Yuan-2A rocket, with the assistance of a crane.
Since both the rocket and the space shuttle are too large to be brought into the assembly building, this process had to be public, and the outside world finally captured images of the combustion chambers of the three A100 engines.
Compared to the conventional rocket engine combustors, the A100's combustors are also massive bell-shaped nozzles, but their surfaces have many protrusions making them appear rough, and the tail is significantly bulged compared to the H2M, seemingly with movable structures.
"The A100 engines will generate tremendous accumulated heat, most of which can be concentrated on the nozzle. There are many fine tubes distributed on the outer wall of the nozzle that allow liquid hydrogen to flow through and carry away heat during operation.
