[Zhuque-3 Reusable Launch Vehicle Launched into Orbit] On December 3, the Zhuque-3 Y1 launch vehicle was launched from the Dongfeng Commercial Aerospace Innovation Test Zone, successfully completing its flight mission according to procedure, with the second stage entering its predetermined orbit. The mission also included a first-stage recovery verification test, but an abnormal combustion occurred during the process, preventing a soft landing on the recovery site. The recovery test failed, and the specific cause is under further analysis and investigation. Although this mission did not achieve the predetermined goal of first-stage recovery, it verified the correctness and rationality of the entire process of testing, launch, and flight of the Zhuque-3 launch vehicle, as well as the compatibility of various system interfaces. It also obtained key engineering data under actual flight conditions, laying an important foundation for subsequent launch services and reliable reusable stage recovery. (Xinhua News Agency)
