ZhuQue-3 (ZQ-3) Reusable Launch Vehicle Enters Final Preparations for Maiden Flight From October 18 to 20, 2025, ZhuQue-3 (ZQ-3) Y1 reusable launch vehicle successfully completed the first phase of its maiden flight campaign — full-scale propellant loading rehearsal and static fire test at the No. 2 launch pad for LOX–methane rockets in the Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Pilot Zone. The vehicle will next proceed with planned vertical integration rehearsal, before returning to the technical zone for inspection and maintenance in preparation for its upcoming orbital launch and first-stage recovery.
