According to reports, this mission belongs to the first full-size vertical take-off and landing (VTVL) and reuse flight test of a liquid rocket in China. The SQX-2Y rocket carrying out this mission is a type of verification rocket used to verify the vertical recovery and reuse of liquid oxygen and methane reuse carrier rocket.

CTOnews.com learned from the announcement that the rocket uses a 3.35m full-size arrow diameter, a total length of about 17m, and is equipped with the focus No. 1 depth variable thrust liquid oxygen methane engine independently developed by Interstellar Glory (code JD-1). The test flight altitude is 178.42m, the flight time is 50.82 s, the landing position accuracy is about 1.68m, the landing speed 0.025m/s, the landing attitude angle is about 0.18 °, and the rolling angle is about 4 °. The flight test mission was successfully completed with high precision.

The official of Interstellar Glory said that through this flight test, it has been verified that the overall plan of Interstellar Glory to reuse the first stage of liquid rocket is correct, and the scheme of continuously variable thrust liquid oxygen methane power system is correct. the correctness of the vertical soft landing navigation, guidance and control scheme of the rocket landing section, and the correctness and coordination of the liquid oxygen methane rocket filling, launch, recovery and reprocessing process. The buffer and support function and performance of the rocket landing device are verified, and the core test data of the key technologies of liquid oxygen methane rocket reuse are obtained, which provides a strong technical support for the development of the medium and large reusable launch vehicle SQX-3 being developed by the company.
