Landspace just gave an official statement saying the vernier engines on the second stage performed abnormally resulting in the lose of the rocket and satellites, but that the methalox fueled first and second stage engines (the most interesting parts of the rocket) worked normally! Hope the next launch goes smoothly!

@wchengvision Год назад

Zhuque-2, if successful this month, could potentially replace the role of some Long March 2/3/4 rockets. If not, try a second shot which has been ready.

@bradmaguire6458 Год назад

Thanks for the detailed and professional reporting of the Chinese space industry. It's increasingly difficult to get information on space industry developments in China these days.

@NEVERSTOPFKUSA Год назад

Extreme difficult? not really, if you can read Chinese. The info is open/transparent to public, otherwise, why DFH could reference those video clips and articles? but if you mean finding subjective report from western media without crooked info or biased report, then I can't agree more.

@teofilol2666 Год назад

As far as I'm concerned, info on China's space development is readily available as long as you read Chinese. Apparently the English press is not interested. Basically only news on NASA and SpaceX attract them. "Increasingly difficult to get information on" anything Chinese is an arrogant narrative on China.

Hey Jean. Keep up the great work and perseverance, it will pay off. Hopefully they start posting longer videos of launches and more footage of what's to come, so we have what to work with :)

@zeyuli5470 Год назад

Thanking you so much for put together the contents! I am always very curious about Landspace's liquid rocket. Its configuration is very similar as the old Long March-2C rocket: first stage with 4 engines, and second stage with 1 engine and vernier thursters. Also it's current configuration is very hard for vertical landing, unless they can magically throttling their first stage engines to

@DongfangHour Год назад

Fully agree with you 🙂

@time2go465 Год назад

Ah yes! Zhuque-2. It'll be the first of the true first-gen Chinese commercial private sector designed rockets, rather than various modifications of solid propellant rocket designs loaned from past CNSA programmes. Honestly, I'm most excited for their reusability development. They've been quiet on that front, so I'm curious whether they'll venture into the tether method proposed by the CNSA, or whether they'll stick with landing-legs as with other commercial companies.

@astastya5881 Год назад

casc has reviewed the landing legs as well as shown in several piece of paper (and the proposal of cz8r which is probably abandoned now). The tether method is developed specificly for larger launch vehicles such as cz5zrl.

@gaelsmith7044 Год назад

Damn it. Was about time . They have been postponing this thing for a year now.....I hope this launch succeeds, else might set them back even further. Maybe next launch won't be after over a year or two if this launch fails. Judging by how much delays this launch already suffered

@raideepu4 Год назад

For sure commercial Chinese space companies will spearhead space exploration like the state owned and international companies soon in future.

@indian1456 Год назад

@ubermenschen3636 Год назад

It would be nice if you can discuss/ provide a spreadsheet itemising the cost per kg of payload ( satellite) for each future rocket launched by every Chinese enterprise. Finally, a cost comparison between the Chinese enterprise and SpaceX, BlueOrigin, and other U.S. enterprise.

@CrasyFingers Год назад

i coulnd't find a full video of the launch, how did it go? or if they didn't make it what was the issue? i only saw a 40 seconds video of someone filming a TV screen

@astastya5881 Год назад

I think that there would not be a streaming for the launch. In addition, land space, I pray for your success

Here is another one from few years ago, it was unknown to most Chinese, until a TV talent show broadcasted the footage: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t0RYByz07is.html it was a trial on reusable rocket technology, developed by a small branch team of ten young guys!

I used to have high hope for this company but this ZQ-2 is just method version of LM-2D. Anyway, wish them all the luck.

@DongfangHour Год назад

I agree that this version of the ZQ-2 is a little bit underwhelming compared to the reusable projects currently being prepared by companies like iSpace & Galactic Energy. The advantage for Landspace though is that their rocket will be operational sooner (if the maiden launch goes well). This may help them grab market shares early and get a fresh flow of money... 🤔

China rocket development is in a fast lane while the US is in sixes and sevens. No more news about Artemis 1, it went into oblivion in space.

@JuteTwine Год назад

Why is Landspace building a methlox rocket? Are they, too, planning to go to Mars? SpaceX expects to make propellants on Mars for Starship's return flights, so methane makes sense for them. (This doesn't really explain why the Starship booster has methalox engines, but maybe that's a matter of economies of scale.) Landspace has built a relatively small rocket with a low payload capacity. So, what's the point of methalox?

@DongfangHour Год назад

There are other advantages to methane. For one, it burns cleaner than kerosene and that's why it is considered by some companies to be more suitable for reusability (Rocket Lab is a good example with their Neutron rocket).
