Landspace just gave an official statement saying the vernier engines on the second stage performed abnormally resulting in the lose of the rocket and satellites, but that the methalox fueled first and second stage engines (the most interesting parts of the rocket) worked normally! Hope the next launch goes smoothly!
Thanks for the detailed and professional reporting of the Chinese space industry. It's increasingly difficult to get information on space industry developments in China these days.
Extreme difficult? not really, if you can read Chinese. The info is open/transparent to public, otherwise, why DFH could reference those video clips and articles? but if you mean finding subjective report from western media without crooked info or biased report, then I can't agree more.

As far as I'm concerned, info on China's space development is readily available as long as you read Chinese. Apparently the English press is not interested. Basically only news on NASA and SpaceX attract them. "Increasingly difficult to get information on" anything Chinese is an arrogant narrative on China.
Zhuque-2, if successful this month, could potentially replace the role of some Long March 2/3/4 rockets. If not, try a second shot which has been ready.
Hey Jean. Keep up the great work and perseverance, it will pay off. Hopefully they start posting longer videos of launches and more footage of what's to come, so we have what to work with :)
Thanking you so much for put together the contents! I am always very curious about Landspace's liquid rocket. Its configuration is very similar as the old Long March-2C rocket: first stage with 4 engines, and second stage with 1 engine and vernier thursters. Also it's current configuration is very hard for vertical landing, unless they can magically throttling their first stage engines to
A nice informative video on Landspace Zhuque-2. Do hope you get access to a live stream, and updated b-roll video. Perhaps a pre-launch interview. ;) If not live, access so can create a great summary video post-flight.
China's space development advancement is remarkably impressive and many participation from friendly nations in coming years. Excellent update and keep up the superb work Dongfang Hour
Ah yes! Zhuque-2. It'll be the first of the true first-gen Chinese commercial private sector designed rockets, rather than various modifications of solid propellant rocket designs loaned from past CNSA programmes. Honestly, I'm most excited for their reusability development. They've been quiet on that front, so I'm curious whether they'll venture into the tether method proposed by the CNSA, or whether they'll stick with landing-legs as with other commercial companies.
casc has reviewed the landing legs as well as shown in several piece of paper (and the proposal of cz8r which is probably abandoned now). The tether method is developed specificly for larger launch vehicles such as cz5zrl.
Damn it. Was about time . They have been postponing this thing for a year now.....I hope this launch succeeds, else might set them back even further. Maybe next launch won't be after over a year or two if this launch fails. Judging by how much delays this launch already suffered
i coulnd't find a full video of the launch, how did it go? or if they didn't make it what was the issue? i only saw a 40 seconds video of someone filming a TV screen
It would be nice if you can discuss/ provide a spreadsheet itemising the cost per kg of payload ( satellite) for each future rocket launched by every Chinese enterprise. Finally, a cost comparison between the Chinese enterprise and SpaceX, BlueOrigin, and other U.S. enterprise.
Here is another one from few years ago, it was unknown to most Chinese, until a TV talent show broadcasted the footage: ruclips.net/video/t0RYByz07is/видео.html it was a trial on reusable rocket technology, developed by a small branch team of ten young guys!
I agree that this version of the ZQ-2 is a little bit underwhelming compared to the reusable projects currently being prepared by companies like iSpace & Galactic Energy. The advantage for Landspace though is that their rocket will be operational sooner (if the maiden launch goes well). This may help them grab market shares early and get a fresh flow of money... 🤔
SpaceX is also going to be using methane 🌝 Just wanted to point that out because this will make it the second company to be incorporating methane fuel 😅
Why is Landspace building a methlox rocket? Are they, too, planning to go to Mars? SpaceX expects to make propellants on Mars for Starship's return flights, so methane makes sense for them. (This doesn't really explain why the Starship booster has methalox engines, but maybe that's a matter of economies of scale.) Landspace has built a relatively small rocket with a low payload capacity. So, what's the point of methalox?
There are other advantages to methane. For one, it burns cleaner than kerosene and that's why it is considered by some companies to be more suitable for reusability (Rocket Lab is a good example with their Neutron rocket).
@@strongchallenger2269 no, India started late but look at the progress, ISRO has already sent space ship to Mars. We also sent hundreds of satellites into space.. Envy?

Interesting, this looks like the only channel (AFAIK) dedicated to tracking China's space news, great job!
Thanks!
@@DongfangHour I heard that ZQ-2 will be launching Dec 10 btw 8-10am Beijing local time, any chance for live stream?

Thanks for the kind words! 🙏🏻
glad to see you're revisiting some of the og dfh topics, chinese private space industry. hope to see an update on spaceplanes
Haha definitely an OG topic 😁 And yes, we’ll do a spaceplane episode next year for sure.

Fully agree with you 🙂

Fantastic content
you had me at "landspace"

For sure commercial Chinese space companies will spearhead space exploration like the state owned and international companies soon in future.
It would be nice if you can discuss/ provide a spreadsheet itemising the cost per kg of payload ( satellite) for each future rocket launched by every Chinese enterprise. Finally, a cost comparison between the Chinese enterprise and SpaceX, BlueOrigin, and other U.S. enterprise.
6:45 wow only 16 views after 9 days... thanks for digging it up man
I think that there would not be a streaming for the launch. In addition, land space, I pray for your success
I agree, very very low chance of any live stream for this launch :(
Unfortunately, the Zhuque-2 launch failed due to a problem with the second stage.
🙂Thank you for the informative video🙂
If ones can made H2 rocket , To make methane rocket is not any problem. Because methane work on less critical temp and pressure than H2.
Not sure how advanced their engines are but commercial rocket companies sure know how to put out pretty animations and pictures to appear advanced.
FYI "Zhuque" means Vermilion Bird.
👏👏👏👏👏

Can they succeed? Wait and see. As long as they have the spirit of 愚公移山, they will.

Which chinese company has managed to launch a spaceX type resusable rockets?
Space X just got X by Landscape lol.
Nice~
I miss the seatbelt intro 😢
Sorry for taking that away! It was a bit too long IMO... But I will replace it with something else in the future. 😉

Linkspace were definitely pretty impressive in their early years
I used to have high hope for this company but this ZQ-2 is just method version of LM-2D. Anyway, wish them all the luck.

China rocket development is in a fast lane while the US is in sixes and sevens. No more news about Artemis 1, it went into oblivion in space.
