"He, when is the CZ-6 reusable Flight Two scheduled to launch?"
Faced with the Big Shot's question, He Tang hemmed and hawed, unable to utter a complete sentence.
The Big Shot understood, this meant they had no confidence and dared not launch again.
Looking at the first institute, Chief Designer Li also showed a hint of embarrassment.
He was the chief designer of the CZ-5, appointed in 2009 to lead the team working on the CZ-5. Last year, they were instructed to explore the reusability of future rockets, and they are still in the demonstration phase.
Resultingly, the eighth institute's CZ-6 exploded with a "pop," and once they thought about their own 870-ton CZ-5, they instantly didn't dare to take that risk.
The inherent configuration of the CZ-5 was not suitable for recovery, and even if they wanted to change the engines, they needed to actually... have them.
