Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
Zhuque-3 is an orbital launch vehicle developed by the Chinese company LandSpace, designed to be reused by landing and recovering its first stage after launch rather than discarding it. It burns a combination of liquid methane and liquid oxygen, a propellant pairing chosen for cleaner combustion and reduced engine fouling compared with more traditional kerosene-based rocket fuels.
