The improved version of the Zhuque-2 (ZQ-2E) launch vehicle uses the basic first stage and a deeply improved second stage. The improvements of the second stage are mainly reflected in the structural system and power system. In terms of the structural system, the improved second stage adopts a single-layer common bottom tank and tunnel delivery pipe scheme, which simplifies the structure and reduces the stage height and rocket body mass.
“Tian Que-15A” (TQ-15A) vacuum liquid oxygen-methane engine test run
In terms of the power system, the second-stage main engine was replaced by the vacuum-type “Tian Que-12” (TQ-12) with the vacuum-type “Tian Que-15A” (TQ-15A) liquid oxygen-methane engine. The latter has significantly improved thrust and specific impulse and has the ability to start three times. At the same time, the second-stage “Tian Que-11” (TQ-11) swimming engine was removed and replaced by the “Yun Que 10” (YQ-10) auxiliary power system. “Yun Que 10” is used for the second-stage precise attitude adjustment, terminal speed correction, propellant sinking, orbit change, and deorbit.

[The third rocket of Blue Arrow Aerospace Suzaku 2 has been transferred and erected and will be launched in the near future]
After the successful go-around, this launch is a key launch and is expected to officially carry commercial payloads. Therefore, it is also possible to carry out research on transportation capacity and orbit accuracy. further test.
It can be seen from the video that domestic private rockets are basically transported by road, and road transportation can easily exceed the 3.35-meter special train limit when conditions permit. It is estimated that it is more difficult for private companies to obtain special trains.
At present, the mainstream next-generation liquid launch vehicles that should be privately operated are basically aiming at a diameter of more than 4 meters, especially the 4.2-meter diameter of Interstellar, which has already passed through some launch sites.
LandSpace – Blue Arrow’s Suzaku 3 has not been officially announced, but the diameter must be more than 4 meters. I am sure that with this diameter, the entire diameter of the passage should have been passed. At present, the two are mainly Jiuquan and Wenchang. As long as they can support a diameter of more than 4 meters, this will be very advantageous for the development of my country’s rockets.
