WHY IT MATTERS
LegendSpace targets a bottleneck that pages describe as years of costly physical prototyping and testing in liquid rocket-engine development, offering a Prime closed loop of AI design, multiphysics simulation, additive manufacturing, and hot- and cold-fire testing that it says can reduce iteration to about two weeks. Its CNY 200 million (USD 29.5 million) angel round, completed only about six months after founding, signals investors are betting that this AI-for-Science manufacturing approach can supply standardized, scalable propulsion for China's high-frequency commercial-launch market.
