- Zhuque-2, a rocket developed by Chinese private space technology startup LandSpace Technology, launched three satellites into orbit.
- The launch vehicle was powered by a mixture of methane and liquid oxygen.
- The use of methane in commercial launches could help slash costs and make it easier to reuse rockets.
- Currently, the rocket can carry a payload of up to 1.5 metric tons into a 500-kilometre-orbit.
- The future Zhuque-3 rocket would use stainless steel propellant tanks and clusters of methane-liquid oxygen propellant engines.
