Additional Background

The failure of this engine resulted in the loss of the second-stage on the first flight of the Zhuque-2, resulting in the failure to reach orbit. It perfomed successfully in follow-on missions. A new second-stage engine for Zhuque-2 is slated to be used on the fourth launch and foreward, leading to the retirement of this engine from service.
