Zhuque-1

Zhuque-1 was LandSpace's three-stage solid-propellant orbital launch vehicle and the first privately developed Chinese rocket to attempt an orbital launch. Its sole flight in October 2018 completed first- and second-stage separation and fairing jettison, but a third-stage anomaly prevented the Weilai-1 satellite from reaching orbit.
