Long March 12A Integrated Methane Propulsion System
Development-stage integrated liquid oxygen/liquid methane propulsion system for the reusable Long March 12A launcher. CNSA identifies Long March 12A as a two-stage LOX/methane rocket centered on first-stage reuse; the cited source does not identify a production engine model or complete engine count, so no model is inferred.
