On June 9, 2026, at precisely 16:23, the Zhuque-2 Yaosix Modified launch vehicle embarked on a triumphant journey from the Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Test Area. It adeptly propelled the Qianfan DTC01 satellite and the China Mobile 02 satellite into their designated orbits. This momentous event marked the eighth successful flight of the Zhuque-2 rocket series. In this particular mission, a significant technological advancement was made as the separation between the rocket's first and second stages was achieved using a pneumatic push rod, rather than relying on traditional pyrotechnics. This innovative approach not only enhanced safety but also granted greater autonomous controllability. Furthermore, the engine featured 3D-printed integrated molding and a thrust adjustment mechanism, significantly boosting its stability and durability. The successful launch of this modified version of the Zhuque-2 rocket heralds its full technical maturity. It is now poised to enter mass production, with expectations of frequent launches in the years to come.
