Zhuque 2

The Zhuque-2 launcher is to be capable of delivering a 4,000-kilogram payload to a 200-kilometer low Earth orbit.

The Zhuque-2 will be capable of delivering a 2,000-kilogram payload to a 500-kilometer Sun-synchronous orbit.

LandSpace reached agreements with UK-based Open Cosmos and Italy-based D-Orbit related to launch services involving the Zhuque-2 rocket.

The Zhuque-2 will be capable of delivering a 4,000-kilogram payload to a 200-kilometer low Earth orbit.

LandSpace expects the Zhuque-2 to be the first Chinese rocket powered by methalox propellant and to conduct a test flight expected in 2020 with the third-highest thrust level among commercial aerospace companies globally.

LandSpace has completed assembly of an 80-ton thrust Tianque-12 (TQ-12) liquid methane-liquid oxygen rocket engine for the Zhuque-2 launch vehicle.

LandSpace will use the TQ-12 engine for its Zhuque-2 (Vermillion Bird-2) medium-lift launch vehicle.

Landspace intends Zhuque-2 to be the first Chinese rocket powered by methalox propellant and expects its test flight in 2020.

The TQ-12 engine will power the medium-lift Zhuque-2 launch vehicle that measures 48.8 m tall with a diameter of 3.35 m.

Zhuque-2 is designed to deliver 4,000 kg to a 200-kilometer low Earth orbit and 2,000 kg to a 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit.

Landspace is developing a liquid methane-liquid oxygen launcher named Zhuque-2 (Vermillion Bird-2) at a site in Huzhou, Zhejiang province.

Zhuque-2 will be capable of delivering 4,000 kg to a 200-kilometer low Earth orbit and 2,000 kg to a 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit using 80-ton and 10-ton methane engines.

Landspace tested gas generators and combustion chambers for the Tianque-12 80-ton-thrust liquid methane/liquid oxygen engine intended to power the two-stage Zhuque-2.

The two-stage Zhuque-2 (ZQ-2) is planned to be 48.8 m tall with a diameter of 3.35 m and to debut in 2020 with an initial manufacturing target of next year.

Zhuque-2 is designed to deliver 4,000 kg to a 200-kilometer low Earth orbit and 2,000 kg to a 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit using 80-ton and 10-ton methalox engines.

Landspace planned larger three-stage Zhuque-2 series rockets with variable-thrust engines intended to enable vertical landings and reuse of first stages and to carry up to 32,000 kg to 200-kilometer low Earth orbit.

Zhuque-2 will be capable of delivering 4,000 kg to a 200-kilometer low Earth orbit and 2,000 kg to a 500-kilometer Sun-synchronous orbit using 80-ton and 10-ton methane engines.

The Tianque engine was developed from scratch and will power the larger medium-lift Zhuque-2 launch vehicle.

Zhuque-2 is a Chinese rocket that Landspace envisions launching in 2020 and that also burns methane.
