中国的朱克-3号火箭于2025年12月3日到达轨道,标志着中国第一次可再利用的轨道发射,尽管第一阶段由于坠落失败而坠毁。 China's Zhuque-3 rocket reached orbit on Dec. 3, 2025, marking its first reusable orbital launch, though the first stage crashed due to a descent failure.

LandSpace的Zhuque-3火箭于12月3日从Jiuquan发射,于2025年12月3日成功到达轨道,但未能恢复其第一阶段,该阶段由于坠落异常而在着陆场附近坠毁。 LandSpace's Zhuque-3 rocket launched from Jiuquan on December 3, 2025, successfully reaching orbit but failing to recover its first stage, which crashed near the landing site due to a descent anomaly. 此次发射是中国首次尝试进行可再利用的轨道火箭着陆,这是中国私营空间部门一个重要里程碑,尽管降落失败。 The launch, China’s first attempt at a reusable orbital rocket landing, marked a key milestone in the country’s private space sector despite the landing failure. 这枚66米长、甲烷燃料火箭的设计用途为20+再利用,可以运载多达18吨的火箭进入轨道。 The 66-meter-tall, methane-fueled rocket is designed for 20+ reuses and can carry up to 18 tonnes to orbit. 虽然美国仍然是实现轨道助推器着陆的唯一国家,但中国在日益激烈的竞争中正在加速可再利用的发射开发。 While the U.S. remains the only nation to achieve orbital booster landings, China is accelerating reusable launch development amid growing competition.
