CNSPACE(@CNSpaceflight):🚀 Deep Blue Aerospace is making serious progress on heavy iron. The company just manufactured and rolled out the 5-meter stainless-steel first-stage propellant tanks—both cryogenic liquid oxygen and kerosene—for its reusable Nebula-2. At 5 meters across, this is the widest rocket body currently in fabrication across China’s commercial space sector. With the second-stage tank already delivered, a Starship-style catch tower spotted under construction, and the 130-tonne Thunder-RS engine deep into hot-fire testing, the hardware is converging fast. Looking forward to seeing how quickly they turn this steel into flight reality.
