Zhuque-3 / 朱雀三号

Zhuque-3 is the LandSpace / 蓝箭航天 reusable-rocket project used as a comparison case in 如何「兜住」一颗火箭？｜ S10E21. The episode says an earlier Zhuque-3 attempt performed well through much of flight and guidance, but final landing ignition became unstable and recovery failed.

The source frames Zhuque-3 as part of China’s commercial reusable-rocket track. Jerry / 太空僧 argues that failures can still produce valuable real-flight data, and the episode treats a future Zhuque-3 success as a possible confidence signal for commercial space if it combines orbital delivery with successful recovery.
