    LEO is anywhere between 200km to 2000km. If you want to send humans you would launch to 200-400km LEO, if you want to send earth observation satellite you would launch to 500km+ LEO for maximum imaging range. GTO from my understanding is 180 by 36000 km orbit which is used as a initial stage...

    Your YF-73 engine that flew in 84 was a gas generator design. Such design is childs play compared to stage combustion cycle that ISRO's CE-7.5 uses. YF-73 specific impulse: 420 seconds CE-7.5 specific impulse: 452 seconds Look at wikipedia or ISRO's site

    It is 8 tons to 620km high circular LEO while long march five is 25 tons to 200 km by 400 km eplitical LEO. They are not the same it takes more delta v to place at 620km than it does at 200-400 km. If long march 5 launched into 620km high orbit its capablity would be somewhere between 10 - 15...

    2000 kN Semi-Cryogenic Engine SCE-200 replacing L-110 Core Stage in LVM3 to be ready in 6-8 months

    So it is total coincidence that specs of RD-801 and YF-100 are 99% the same? YF-100 specs Sea level thrust: 120 tons Sea level impulse: 300 seconds Fuel: LOX/RP-1 Cycle: Oxidiser rich staged combustion cycle RD-801 specs: Sea level thrust: 120 tons Sea level impulse: 300 seconds...
