Adhering to the core principles of independent process adaptation, precise performance optimization and independent technological innovation, this research adopted the pure electric drive pump cycle + liquid oxygen methane full combustion architecture. Through directional optimization of three core modules including power cycle, key components and thermal management, the core performance indicators of sea-level thrust 10±0.3 tons, sea-level specific impulse ≥330s and thrust-to-weight ratio ≥130:1 were achieved. All designs were anchored to the existing domestic industrial capabilities, 100% compatible with 20-50 ton medium and small test beds without adding new equipment and production lines. The whole research process from scheme design, component manufacturing to 40s continuous ignition test was completed, and a core technical scheme with independent intellectual property rights was formed, which filled the technical gap of domestic small-thrust electric cycle liquid oxygen methane rocket engine. It provides a cost-effective test carrier for aerospace power basic research and small launch vehicle power verification, and also a new engineering idea for the integration application of electric cycle technology and liquid oxygen methane propellant. The core performance indicators of this research reach the top level of domestic engines of the same level, with controllable R & D cycle, high landing efficiency, and good industrialization and parameter iteration expansion capabilities.
