ZhuQue-2E Y7 Launch Mission Recap

LandSpace@LandSpace_Tech

This mission marks the ninth flight of the ZhuQue-2 series launch vehicle and the first large-scale satellite internet constellation deployment mission conducted by the ZhuQue-2E. LandSpace has achieved routine commercial launch operations with the ZhuQue-2E, while continuing to advance the engineering reuse verification of ZhuQue-3. LandSpace will keep enhancing its capability for stable and efficient access to space, providing launch-capacity support for satellite internet development and the scaled growth of the commercial space sector.

MISSION SUCCESS | ZhuQue-2E Y7 Launch Vehicle Achieved Full Mission Success - ZhuQue-2E Launch Vehicle Conducts First Large-Scale Satellite Internet Constellation Deployment Mission On September 15, 2026, 02:26 p.m. (UTC+8), the ZhuQue-2E (ZQ-2E) Y7 launch vehicle successfully lifted off from LandSpace Launch Complex in Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Pilot Zone. The vehicle completed all planned flight tasks, successfully delivered the Shanghai Spacesail Technologies SpaceSail Polar Orbit Group 19 satellites into their designated orbits, achieving full mission success.

White Dew （白露 · 15th Solar Term) The Moon Grows Full, the Network Grows Dense Mid-autumn begins; the summer heat dissolves. Today is White Dew of the twenty-four solar terms. At Qixi, China's festival of reunion, the ZhuQue has come home; Now White Dew is here, and we are bound for new orbits. The moon waxes from crescent to full; the network grows from sparse to dense. Autumn deepens its colors; clear dew gathers its fullness. From the minute comes the remarkable; in due order, all is accomplished.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all sectors of society for your continued care and support, and to space enthusiasts around the world for accompanying us on this journey and witnessing every milestone together. This autumn, we will continue to keep our feet firmly on the ground, advance through one engineering milestone after another, and journey toward ever more distant stars.

As the Chinese saying goes:“Sow in spring, develop in summer, harvest in autumn, store in winter.” Harvest is not an ending — it prepares the way for new growth. Returning is not a pause — it prepares for the next departure. After End of Heat, the world grows quieter, and all things return to order. So it is with ZhuQue. ZhuQue comes home — not to stop, but to prepare for flight once again.

After returning to the assembly facility, the first stage will undergo a series of new processes, including inspection and assessment, selective disassembly, condition analysis, maintenance, and refurbishment. These efforts will accumulate engineering experience for the validation of reuse processes and the establishment of standardized procedures. We will continue to explore and refine the engineering reuse system for reusable launch vehicles — turning every flight into capability for the next, and every practice into reliable, stable, and repeatable engineering experience.

End of Heat （处暑 · 14th Solar Term） The Fading Heat · ZhuQue Comes Home Just this week, the ZhuQue-3 Y2 reusable launch vehicle achieved full success in orbital insertion and first-stage land recovery. For a reusable launch vehicle, a successful recovery is not the finish line — it marks the beginning of engineering reuse. In the days following the mission, the first task at the recovery site is to lower the recovered first stage to horizontal, secure it onto a transporter and return it to the assembly facility. We call this journey “ZhuQue Comes Home.” Coming home is more than a return journey. It is the prologue to engineering reuse.
