Zhuque-2 is a medium-sized rocket powered by liquid oxygen and methane. Zhuque-2 has a liftoff weight of 219 metric tons and uses 4 TQ-12 methalox engines on the first stage each with a thrust of 67 metric tonnes. The second stage uses 1 vacuum-optimized TQ-12 with a thrust of 80 metric tonnes in combination with a 10 metric tonnes thrust TQ-11 engines which will act as a vernier thruster. The Zhuque-2 was the first methane-fueled rocket to attempt an orbital flight, and the first to successfully reach orbit.
