MISSION SUCCESS | ZhuQue-3 Y2 Reusable Launch Vehicle Achieved Full Success in Orbital Insertion and First-Stage Recovery

On August 19, 2026, at 07:35 (UTC+8), the ZhuQue-3 (ZQ-3) Y2 reusable launch vehicle lifted off from the Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Pilot Zone. Approximately 137 seconds after lift-off, the first and second stages separated. The second stage continued its flight and successfully delivered the Honghu 03 satellite, independently developed by Hongqing Technology, into its designated orbit. At approximately 07:41, the first stage performed a successful soft touchdown at the LandSpace Landing Site#1 in Minqin County, Gansu Province, following the planned trajectory — marking the full success of the flight test mission.

Recent Chinese policy moves have created a lot of doubt about capitalism and capital markets in China, so I’d like to help clarify what’s going on there. If you’re interested in learning more, you can read about it here: https://t.co/Rzw6AWmxZF

过去一年，我教会了孩子我觉得可以让她受用终身的两个事。

一个是我指出了他们英语教科书里面的错误（如下所示），并且公开在班级群里向英语老师指出错误，并努力劝服老师给全班同学说明教科书错误，以及正确的用法。从那天以后，我们家的孩子开始明白了一个道理一一教科书和老师并不都是对的……1/2

So is this the Chinese answer to @elonmusk's Starship architecture for interplanetary transportation?
I wonder what they define as "Large scale interplanetary transportation propulsion technology"? #GLEX2021
