The launch was carried out from the Jiuquan Spaceport in northwestern China. Problems arose after the second stage separated and experts are now trying to determine the cause.

China's private technology company LandSpace Technology Corporation announced in late August that it had completed the manufacture of a commercial rocket called "Zhuchue-1" (ZQ-1, Chu Tuoc).

The ZQ-1 "red bird" is a three-stage rocket with a total length of 19 meters, a diameter of 1.35 meters, a take-off weight of 27 tons, and a starting thrust of 45 tons.
