China's Long March 10B carrier rocket lifted off from the Hainan commercial space launch site at 12:15 pm on Friday. Approximately six minutes after the separation of the rocket's first and second stages, the first stage made a vertical return and was successfully recovered by an offshore recovery platform, marking China's first successful implementation of controlled recovery of a launch vehicle’s first stage, as well as the world’s first net-based recovery of a launch vehicle.

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 Achieves First Successful Net Recovery of Reusable Long March 10B Rocket China successfully launched the Long March 10B (CZ-10B) reusable launch vehicle today (10 July 2026) from the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site, marking a major milestone in the country’s commercial space ambitions. The mission achieved China’s first successful controlled recovery of a rocket first stage and the world’s first successful net-based recovery of an orbital-class launch vehicle. The launch took place around midday from Launch Pad No. 2 at the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site. Approximately six minutes after stage separation, the rocket’s first stage executed a controlled vertical return to the designated recovery zone at sea. Instead of landing on a conventional drone ship, the booster was successfully captured by the offshore recovery vessel “Navigator” (领航者) using a flexible net capture system, representing the first time such a recovery method has been successfully demonstrated for an orbital launch vehicle. The Long March 10B is a new-generation commercial reusable liquid oxygen-kerosene rocket featuring a 5-metre-diameter core stage and standing nearly 70 metres tall. It is powered by seven reusable YF-100N engines. Even when configured for first-stage recovery, the rocket is capable of delivering at least 16 tonnes to low Earth orbit (LEO). The successful mission represents a significant breakthrough for China’s commercial space sector and reusable launch technology. It fills a longstanding gap in China’s capability to operate a large-lift reusable commercial launch vehicle while demonstrating an innovative recovery approach that could reduce launch costs and improve operational efficiency for future missions. The achievement also positions China among the leading nations advancing reusable launch systems, with the successful net recovery introducing a novel alternative to traditional landing platforms used by other space-launch providers.

A Chinese breakthrough shaking up the reusable rocket race! On August 19, 2026, China successfully completed a full mission with the ZhuQue-3 Y2, marking a major step toward the era of reusable rockets. The rocket lifted off from the Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Pilot Zone. About 137 seconds later, the two stages separated, with the second stage continuing its flight and successfully placing the Honghu-03 satellite into its designated orbit. But the biggest moment came next: the first stage followed its planned trajectory back to Earth and performed a successful soft landing on land at LandSpace Landing Site No. 1 in Minqin County, Gansu, marking China’s first successful land-based recovery of this type. A rocket that launches, delivers its payload into orbit, then comes back and stands on the ground — this is China building the next generation of reusable launch vehicles.

MISSION SUCCESS | ZhuQue-3 Y2 Reusable Launch Vehicle Achieved Full Success in Orbital Insertion and First-Stage Recovery On August 19, 2026, at 07:35 (UTC+8), the ZhuQue-3 (ZQ-3) Y2 reusable launch vehicle lifted off from the Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Pilot Zone. Approximately 137 seconds after lift-off, the first and second stages separated. The second stage continued its flight and successfully delivered the Honghu 03 satellite, independently developed by Hongqing Technology, into its designated orbit. At approximately 07:41, the first stage performed a successful soft touchdown at the LandSpace Landing Site#1 in Minqin County, Gansu Province, following the planned trajectory — marking the full success of the flight test mission.
