Know Rocket Zhuque 2E China whose island fell in Kaltek

China's satellite carrier Zhuque 2E, was in the spotlight after the rocket parts were found at the palm plantations in the Kohatima district of the East, Central Kalimantan.

Zhuque 2E rockets are used to transport satellites into orbit, including satellites developed for artificial intelligence infrastructure in space.

"According to the information received from BRIN, the splinter was part of China Zhuque 2E rocket which crashed in the Kotim region on Sunday (18 / 2026), around 17.36 PM," he said on Monday (19 / 10), quoted from Detikcom.

That information was obtained after the airport coordinated with BRIN and the National Transportation Safety Committee.

A few days before the discovery, China launched Zhuque-2E Y4 rockets from the space innovation zone of Dongfeng commercial in the northwest China (14 / 10).

Quoted from Xinhua, a rocket took off at 1940 Beijing time and put 10 satellites into a designated orbit. The flying test mission was declared fully successful.

Eight satellites brought in are part of group 02 of the Adapace Technology Co project, Ltd. or ADAspace. The satellites were designed to operate in dawn-twilight orbit.

According to ADAspace, it carries high-performance computing devices, high-speed laser communication devices between satellites and Earth, as well as cameras for light minimims.

The satellites will be used to test a number of technologies in orbit. It covers a cooling circulatory system at a power level of 10,000 watts, huge radiation coolant panels that can be spread, to laser communication networks.

Besides, the satellite will test the training of the AI foundation model in orbit. Adapace plans to use group 2 testing to develop more space computing technologies as part of the project.

The "star computer" project was intended to build AI infrastructure in space composed of 2,800 computing satellites. The first group of satellites successfully launched in May 2025, while the third group was scheduled to be placed in orbit in 2026.

In the discovery in Kotim, a metal object was found at least two points of the PT Farm in Agro Hill, KM26.

One identification clue is the code "2ZQE31-20-15 240256KY" written on a splinter. The KNKT looked at that part of the code that was judged as similar to the name Zhuque 2E, then coordinated with the Flight and Space Research Organization.

The groin found on Monday has been moved to further inspection.

"It has now been evacuated to Landd Isdrive Bus Base for further identification and for the sake of security," Zachrudien said.

On Tuesday (20 / 10), another metal shaped like the dome was found in the plantation area. Cable and components are still visible attached to the object, while the location of its discovery has been attached to a police line.
