China has successfully tested a reusable first stage for its Long March-10A rocket using a unique net-based recovery system at sea. Unlike SpaceX, which lands its boosters directly on a drone ship, China recovered the booster with a specially designed offshore platform fitted with a large capture net, marking...

With Long March 10B, how has🇨🇳China became the world's second country, after🇺🇸US, to recover orbital booster? Unlike methods pioneered by Elon Musk's SpaceX, the Chinese mission used a first-of-its-kind, sea-based net-and-cable system to allow for a more adaptable recovery. It's a world first for net-based rocket recovery – and a giant leap for reusable space tech.

🇨🇳 China has successfully recovered the first stage of a carrier rocket during an orbital launch test, according to state media. The Long March 10B lifted off from Hainan Island, and about six minutes after stage separation, its first stage booster successfully landed on a floating platform, marking another step forward in China's reusable rocket technology.

🚀 Japan Successfully Tests Reusable Rocket Prototype Japan’s space agency JAXA has completed the first flight test of its RV-X experimental reusable rocket at the Noshiro Rocket Testing Center. * Reached an altitude of approximately 11 meters. * Traveled around 16 meters horizontally. * Landed vertically as planned. * The entire flight lasted less than one minute. * Future tests are expected to target altitudes of roughly 100 meters. The test came one day after China successfully recovered the booster of its Long March 10B rocket using a sea-based net system. Analyst Note: Reusable launch technology is rapidly becoming a strategic capability. Japan’s test remains small-scale compared with operational orbital boosters, but it represents an important step toward reducing launch costs and strengthening domestic space access. #DDW #Intelligence #DarkWeb #Japan

SpaceX was supposed to be America’s sacred crown jewel. The symbol of American innovation. The proof that only the U.S. could define the future of reusable rockets. The technological altar where Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and Washington all worshipped together. And now China has successfully completed its first controlled recovery of an orbital-class rocket booster with the Long March 10B. Not by copying the American landing-pad model. Not by repeating SpaceX’s path. China used a sea-based net-capture system — a different technical route, a Chinese solution, built for its own launch architecture. That is why this matters. China is not just entering reusable rocketry. China is entering it with its own method. For years, the West comforted itself with one myth: China can manufacture, but America still owns the frontier. EVs broke that myth. Solar broke that myth. Shipbuilding broke that myth. AI began breaking that myth. Now reusable rockets are breaking it too. SpaceX may still ahead. But the crown is no longer untouchable. China did not need permission to reach orbit. China did not need applause to recover the booster. It just built, tested, failed, learned, and came back. Again.

Around six minutes after its lift-off at the Hainan International Commercial Aerospace Launch Center in south China's Hainan Province, the reusable component - the first-stage booster - was captured by a cable recovery system on board a specially designed vessel in waters off Hainan. The mission marked the world's first successful recovery of a carrier rocket using the net system and China's first maritime recovery of a rocket booster.#SpaceChina #ChinaSeen More:

China has successfully launched a payload to orbit and landed the first stage booster rocket, similar to SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket. China is an estimated 10 years behind SpaceX in this technology. Elon’s company does this 100+ times per year and is already developing the more advanced Starship launch system.

For the first time, China has successfully launched and recovered the first stage of its new Long March 10B rocket. The booster was caught by a tensioned steel net on an autonomous recovery vessel. China is now the second nation (after the US) that has successfully recovered the first stage of an orbital-class rocket. Long March 10B Rocket: • Height: 70.2 meters (230 ft) • Diameter: 5 meters (16.4 ft) • Liftoff Mass: ~740 metric tons • Low Orbit Payload Capacity: ~16,000 kg

China on Wednesday successfully conducted a low-altitude demonstration and verification flight test for its Long March-10 carrier rocket and a maximum dynamic pressure abort flight test for its new-generation crewed spaceship system Mengzhou in the southern island province of Hainan, marking a major breakthrough for the country's future crewed lunar landing missions. The return capsule of the new-generation Mengzhou crewed spaceship has safely splashed down in the predetermined sea area, according to the China Manned Space Agency.

BREAKING: For 10 years the world believed there was one way to reuse a rocket: land it upright on its engines, the way SpaceX does. Today China refused to copy it, and pulled off something SpaceX never managed on a first flight. It caught the rocket instead. The Long March 10B lifted off from Hainan, China this morning, and about 6 minutes later its first stage came back down toward a 25,000-ton ship at sea. It did not land. Hooks on the falling booster snagged a net of tensioned steel wires strung across the deck, the wires riding robotic rails that slid into place to meet it. No landing legs. No touchdown. A rocket plucked out of its own descent by a moving net, on the maiden flight of a brand-new vehicle. No one handed China this. SpaceX guards its rocket tech as “trade secrets”, not “patents”, precisely so it cannot be read and copied. China watched a decade of public flights and then built an entirely different machine to reach the same prize, catching instead of landing, which sheds the heavy legs and spares the fuel a soft touchdown burns to hover. And this was never about cheaper satellites, though it delivers those too, feeding the thousands of birds in China's Starlink rival. Its deeper purpose is the Moon. That booster shares its core with the rocket meant to land Chinese astronauts on the lunar surface by 2030. In the same season, America's own Moon rocket, Starship, has flown 12 times and still has not shown the single maneuver its lunar plan depends on. One flight does not dethrone SpaceX. It has landed hundreds. What ended today is not SpaceX's lead. It is Uncle Sam’s belief that it owns the only road to the Moon. The piece works out which way of coming home actually wins.

Rocket Lab just built a rocket that competes directly with SpaceX Falcon 9. This is Neutron a Reusable medium-lift, built to carry 13,000 kg to low Earth orbit. Nine Archimedes engines on the first stage. One vacuum-optimized Archimedes on the second. Liquid methane and oxygen. Built for satellite deployment and large-scale space missions. The medium-lift launch market just got a second serious player.

China sent a new satellite group into space from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in north China's Shanxi Province on Tuesday. The satellite group was launched at 19:59 (Beijing Time) aboard a modified Long March-6 carrier rocket and successfully entered its preset orbit. The satellites will make up the Spacesail Constellation, a Chinese low-orbit satellite network intended for commercial use. This launch marked the 642nd flight mission of the Long March carrier rocket series, according to the launch center.
