LandSpace Launches Zhuque-2E Rocket with Six Commercial Satellites (Drone view)
A new methane-powered rocket developed by China's LandSpace Technology launched six satellites into orbit on Saturday, May 17, 2025, doubling down on a cheap, cleaner fuel that the private startup hopes will help it develop reusable rockets.
The Zhuque-2E Y2 carrier rocket blasted off at 12:12 p.m. (0412 GMT) from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China, marking the fifth flight for the Zhuque-2 series, according to a company statement.
Beijing-based LandSpace became the world's first company to launch a methane-liquid oxygen rocket in July 2023, ahead of U.S. rivals including Elon Musk's SpaceX and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin.
