According to the company, Zhuque-2 – as the device is called – works efficiently and the fact that it has methane-fueled engines lowers its operating costs, since it can be reused.

In addition, it uses liquid oxygen as an oxidizer, which is more powerful and non-toxic.

Wednesday’s mission was the second flight test of the rocket, as the previous shipment failed last December and since then the developers have focused on optimizing every detail of the device.

LandSpace intends to continue working on the quality of the equipment and expects the results of the operation to be useful for the reusable rocket industry.
