The YF-209 is a liquid cryogenic rocket engine burning liquid methane and liquid oxygen in a gas-generator cycle. The engine is designed for reusability and commercial use and is currently under development as of May 2024.
History
[edit]The YF-209 is designed for the commercial launch market in China with reusability in mind.[2] It can be reused at least 30 times and can be restarted at least 3 times during the mission with deep throttle capabilities.[3] The engine hot fire test was successfully completed in February 2023.[4] Development has been prioritised in 2024 to meet the growing needs of the commercial launch market.[5]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
