Zhuque-1

Zhuque-2 is a medium-sized rocket powered by liquid oxygen and methane capable of lifting 6,000 kg of payload into a 200 km low Earth orbit, or 4,000 kg of payload into a 500 km Sun-synchronous orbit.

液体酸素とメタンを推進剤とする中型ロケット。高度 200 km の低軌道へ 6,000 kg、高度 500 km の太陽同期軌道へ 4,000 kg のペイロードを投入できる。

Zhuque-2

Zhuque-2E (E stands for “enhanced”) is a medium-sized rocket powered by liquid oxygen and methane capable of lifting 6,000 kg of payload into a 200 km low Earth orbit, or 4,000 kg of payload into a 500 km Sun-synchronous orbit. It differs from the baseline Zhuque-2 in using enhanced TQ-12A engines on the 1st stage with higher thrust and specific impulse than the original TQ-12, and a new TQ-15A engine on the 2nd stage that has a moveable nozzle.

朱雀 2 号 E (E は「強化型」の意) は液体酸素とメタンを推進剤とする中型ロケットで、高度 200 km の低軌道へ 6,000 kg、高度 500 km の太陽同期軌道へ 4,000 kg のペイロードを投入できる。基本型の朱雀 2 号との違いは、第 1 段に元の TQ-12 より推力と比推力を高めた強化型 TQ-12A を、第 2 段に可動ノズルを持つ新型 TQ-15A を使う点。

Zhuque-2E

Zhuque-2E (E stands for “enhanced”) is a medium-sized rocket powered by liquid oxygen and methane capable of lifting 6,000 kg of payload into a 200 km low Earth orbit, or 4,000 kg of payload into a 500 km Sun-synchronous orbit. It differs from the baseline Zhuque-2 in using enhanced TQ-12A engines on the 1st stage with higher thrust and specific impulse than the original TQ-12, and a new TQ-15A engine on the 2nd stage that has a moveable nozzle.

The Block 2 variant lengthens the 1st stage with more propellant load and a lighter structure, plus engines with still more increased thrust to reach the capabilities listed above.

Zhuque-2E Block 2

Zhuque-3 (ZQ-3) is a reusable orbital launch vehicle developed by Chinese private company LandSpace. The rocket is built using stainless steel and shares the same series of gas generator cycle methane/liquid oxygen powered rocket engines as in the currently active ZQ-2E rocket.

The first stage uses 9 TQ-12 engines (initially the TQ-12A, then upgraded TQ-12B) while the second stage uses 1 TQ-15 engine (TQ-15A, then TQ-15B).

On launch missions where the first stage is recovered, it will land on a down-range landing pad located in Minqin County, Gansu Province.

中国の民間企業ランドスペースが開発する再使用型軌道打ち上げ機 (ZQ-3)。機体はステンレス鋼製で、運用中の ZQ-2E と同系列のガス発生器サイクルのメタン/液体酸素エンジンを共有する。第 1 段は TQ-12 エンジン 9 基 (当初 TQ-12A、後に TQ-12B へ更新)、第 2 段は TQ-15 エンジン 1 基 (TQ-15A、後に TQ-15B)。第 1 段を回収するミッションでは、甘粛省民勤県にある下流側の着陸パッドへ着陸する。
