YF-75

YF-75 is the liquid-hydrogen/liquid-oxygen cryogenic engine identified by SpaceChina for the Long March 8 second stage. SpaceChina states that the second-stage YF-75 installation has secondary ignition capability; that restart boundary is represented explicitly without inferring unverified thrust or cycle details.
