Zhuque

Chinese commercial methalox medium-lift orbital rocket

LandSpace's Zhuque-2 became the world's first methane-fuelled rocket to reach orbit, in July 2023 — beating SpaceX's Starship to that milestone. The larger Zhuque-3, designed to land and fly again, made its first flight in December 2025: the payload reached orbit, but the booster was lost during the recovery attempt.
