The recovery of the first stage of Zhuque-3, China's first reusable carrier rocket developed by LandSpace, was failed during a test flight back on December 3, 2025, while the second stage of the rocket managed to successfully enter the designated orbit, according to the Xinhua News Agency.
Dai Zheng, chief commander of Zhuque-3, said that when the rocket was about 3.3 kilometers above the ground, it needs to perform a rapid deceleration maneuver by reigniting its engine, a process known as a "landing ignition."
"The ignition sequence was completed and the engine did ignite, but abnormal combustion occurred afterward. The rocket eventually crashed near the edge of the landing pad," Dai said, according to CCTV.
Although the rocket did not achieve a successful recovery, the mission, China's first orbital-class rocket first-stage recovery test, collected telemetry data during the return phase, provided a clearer picture of the flight environment throughout the recovery process, and yielded a large amount of valuable first-hand test data, per CCTV. 
Drawing on the data collected from the Zhuque-3 Y1 mission, the development team made improvements to the Y2 launch vehicle.
Eight months after the Y1's unsatisfying recovery, the Zhuque-3 Y2 reusable launch vehicle on Wednesday conducted a flight test, carrying not only a satellite payload but also successfully carried out a major test of China's emerging reusable rocket capabilities. After completing its orbital mission, the rocket's first stage attempted a controlled return and recovery.
The Y2 mission was conducted on the basis of experience accumulated from the previous flight test, with improvements focused on recovery reliability, flight control and engine performance.
LandSpace said it optimized the first-stage landing propulsion scheme by reducing the number of engines used during landing ignition, simplifying system design and improving reliability during the recovery phase. The company also added an autonomous safety control function capable of predicting landing points based on flight conditions and making corresponding safety adjustments.

B |     Joe Biden’s top aide appeared to interrupt Emmanuel Macron on June 27 as the French President was discussing oil output with his US counterpart at the Group of Seven meeting in Bavaria, Germany.,"I had a call with MbZ… He told me two things. I'm at a maximum, maximum (production capacity). Second, he told me...the Saudis can increase a little bit, 150 (thousands barrels per day) or a little but more. They don't have huge capacities at least before six months’ time," Macron was caught by Reuters TV as saying, in reference to his conversation with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed.,Top Biden aide Jake Sullivan runs interference for Biden during his conversation with French President Macron:"Careful, careful. Maybe we should just go inside." pic.twitter.com/UMyiC8IaUf— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) June 27, 2022,With journalists standing just feet away, United States National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan wasted no time in stepping in and appearing to cut off Emmanuel Macron.,“Careful. Maybe we should just step inside … because of the cameras,” Sullivan said, motioning to journalists covering the G-7 summit.,According to Reuters, Saudi Arabia and the UAE are seen as the only two countries in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) which possessed the spare capacity to help increase global deliveries.,Incidentally, UAE's Energy Minister, Suhail bin Mohammed Al Mazrouei, confirmed Macron's statement.,"In light of recent media reports, I would like to clarify that the UAE is producing near to our maximum production capacity based on its current OPEC+ production baseline," said the Energy Minister.,He clarified on Twitter that this baseline, stipulated in a deal between the OPEC cartel and its allies in effect until the end of the year, stood at 3.168 million barrels a day.,Why Biden Will Have a Hard Time Trying to Persuade Saudi Arabia to Boost Oil Output19 June, 15:31 GMT,US President Joe Biden is expected to visit Saudi Arabia at the end of his July 13-16 Middle East trip. The Democrat’s trip to the oil-producing kingdom was prompted by urgency to tackle surging gas costs as the average US price topped $5 a gallon.,Skyrocketing oil prices, inflation at a 40-year high, and a dramatically plummeting approval rating have left the 79-year-old democratic POTUS worried that November midterms could potentially leaving the administration without their slim majority in the House and the Senate.,Energy Analyst Says US Could See 'Apocalyptic' Gas Prices This Summer26 June, 03:05 GMT,Hence, the Biden visit to Saudi Arabia next month, ostensibly to woo the oil-rich Arab states to help alleviate a spike in gas prices. Commonly attributed by the US President to Russia’s ongoing special operation to demilitarize Ukraine, in effect, rising energy and food costs along with other economic woes experienced by the US and EU are, in part, of their own making. Sanctions against Russia have largely backfired, while also triggering logistics disruptions to flows of agricultural imports and fuel.。
