Zhuque-3
Zhuque-3 is LandSpace's two-stage, stainless-steel, methane-fueled reusable launch vehicle for large constellation missions. Nine TQ-12A engines power the first stage and one restartable vacuum TQ-15A powers the upper stage. Its 2025 maiden flight placed the upper stage in orbit and tested booster return, although anomalous combustion prevented the first stage from landing softly.
