The Honghu-2 satellite was launched by a Landspace Zhuque-2 rocket in December of the previous year.
Landspace is developing the methane-liquid oxygen Zhuque-2 and a planned stainless steel Zhuque-3 reusable launchers.
Landspace aims to launch three Zhuque-2 methalox rockets in 2024 and to conduct further hop tests for the stainless steel Zhuque-3.
Landspace aims to launch three Zhuque-2 rockets in 2024, six in 2025, and 12 in 2026.
The two Chinese commercial liquid propellant launchers to fly so far—Zhuque-2 and Tianlong-2—have launched from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China.
The Zhuque 2 Y-3 carrier rocket launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China at 7:39 a.m.
The Zhuque 2 rocket has a payload capacity equivalent to 1,500 kg to a 500 km sun-synchronous orbit.
The third Zhuque-2 lifted off at 6:39 p.m. Eastern (2339 UTC) 2023-12-08 from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Gobi Desert.
An upgraded Zhuque-2 version will be capable of lifting 4,000 kg to orbit.
The 2023-12-08 Zhuque-2 flight carried the Honghu, Honghu-2 and Tianyi-33 satellites.
Landspace plans to launch three Zhuque-2 rockets in 2024, six in 2025, and 12 in 2026.
Zhuque-2 can carry 1,500 kg to a 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit (SSO).
The methalox Zhuque-2 and the kerolox Tianlong-2 were the first commercial liquid propellant launchers to reach orbit in 2023.
Landspace built new facilities at Jiuquan to support launches of its Zhuque-2 methane-liquid oxygen rocket.
Landspace operates the Zhuque-2, which is the first and so far only methalox rocket from China to reach orbit.
Landspace developed the Tianque methalox engines that power the Zhuque-2 rocket.
Landspace is preparing to launch its third Zhuque-2 methane-liquid oxygen rocket on 2023-12-04 Eastern.
Landspace’s first Zhuque-2 launch failed in December 2022 and its second Zhuque-2 launch successfully reached orbit in July 2023.
Space Pioneer (Tianlong-2) and Landspace (Zhuque-2) became the first Chinese commercial firms to reach orbit with liquid propellant rockets in 2023.
The TQ-12 engine that powers the Zhuque-2 first stage produces 80,000 kg of thrust and Landspace is developing a restartable version of the engine.
