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 a different approach to reusable launch technology. Reusable rockets can dramatically reduce launch costs by allowing expensive rocket stages to be flown multiple times. China plans to use the Long March-10 family for future crewed lunar missions, making this technology an important step toward its long-term space ambitions. Could this new recovery method become a serious alternative to SpaceX's reusable rocket system? #China #SpaceX #elonmusk #Falcon9 #ISRO

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.

Why Japan Is Teaching Rockets to Come Home The concept of a reusable rocket is deceptively simple: instead of discarding an expensive stage into the ocean after every launch, land it and launch it again. SpaceX built its competitive edge on this very principle—and now others are mastering the same technology. Japan joined this club over the weekend. Its space agency, JAXA, conducted the first flight of the RV-X—a small experimental rocket developed in partnership with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The flight was brief, lasting less than a minute: it rose 11 meters, shifted 16 meters laterally, and executed a soft, vertical landing. Keeping a rocket upright on a column of thrust is akin to balancing a pencil on your fingertip—except the pencil weighs tons and is powered by a flame. A split-second error is all it takes to lose that vertical stability. Engineering features play a crucial role here: an upgraded engine that has undergone 165 hot-fire tests and four shock-absorbing legs designed to cushion the impact with the ground. All of this serves as a rehearsal for a far more ambitious goal: a future reusable successor to the current expendable H3 rocket, intended to deliver payloads to orbit at a significantly lower cost. Japan is not acting alone; it is developing the RV-X in collaboration with France and Germany, while just a day earlier, China successfully recovered a first stage for the first time. The world is gradually shifting toward rockets that do not burn up after a single flight but instead return to pick up their next payload.

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.

🚨BREAKING! Japan's SpaceOne KAIROS Rocket Launch Ends In Failure🚨 Space One’s KAIROS No. 3 rocket suffered an anomaly during first stage flight following liftoff on March 5, 2026 at 11:10 a.m. local time from the Kii Spaceport in Japan. According to the company, the vehicle experienced a major issue during ascent which led teams to determine that mission success was no longer possible. Flight controllers then activated the Flight Termination System (FTS) to safely end the mission. Video from the launch shows an explosion during first stage flight, after which the rocket began spinning out of control before breaking apart. Space One released the following statement: “Kairos No. 3 was launched on March 5, 2026, at 11:10:00 a.m., but we determined that mission success was difficult and implemented flight termination measures. Details are currently under investigation.” This marks another setback for the KAIROS launch vehicle, as the company continues working toward establishing Japan’s first private orbital launch capability.

South Korea has successfully completed the first fully successful flight test of the KALCM Cheonryong (Korean Air-Launched Cruise Missile), which is expected to become the primary long-range strike weapon of the future KF-21 Boramae multirole fighter. On June 25, the missile was launched for the first time from an FA-50 light combat aircraft. After separation, it successfully ignited its main engine, stabilized its flight, and completed the entire test profile as planned. The successful flight comes after two unsuccessful attempts in January and March, when the missiles crashed into the sea due to failures in the ignition of the main propulsion engine following launch.

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.

🇺🇦🚀 Ukraine has created the DART rocket for launch from aerostats — protected from radio-electronic warfare (EW) systems. ▪️ The Center of Innovative Technologies Program has presented the DART rocket, designed to be launched from stratospheric aerostats at an altitude of 12–18 km. The body length is 1.84 meters, and the weight is 13 kg. The warhead mass varies from 3.5 to 10 kg depending on the configuration; the damaging elements are made of graphite. ▪️ The main feature is its resilience to radio-electronic warfare (EW) systems: upon reaching an altitude of approximately 6 km, the navigation system is fully deactivated, the solid-fuel engine is activated, and the rocket proceeds toward the target without any active signals. Accuracy during the descent phase is ensured by servo drives that stabilize the trajectory. ▪️ In the future, it is planned to develop both ballistic and “air-to-ground” class missiles based on the DART platform. The DART rocket represents an innovative and cost-effective solution that leverages high-altitude aerostats for launch. Its design, which minimizes reliance on active navigation during the critical flight phase, makes it particularly resistant to enemy electronic warfare systems and opens new possibilities for deep strikes.

Here is one of our experimental 3D printed Hadfield liquid rocket engines going through some thrust vector control (TVC) profiles! As we scale to our first light-lift orbital launch vehicle, Tundra, and then our medium-lift reusable launch vehicle, Titan, precise control of the rocket at every phase of flight is critical to mission success. Guiding a rocket to orbit, and eventually back to Earth, demands close coordination across every sub-team. Some of the key challenges we’re tackling: ➡️ Reliable & repeatable TVC actuation: ensuring the engine gimbal responds consistently across every test and flight ➡️ High-frequency control loops: real-time systems that keep the vehicle stable from liftoff to orbital insertion ➡️ Propellant sloshing: accounting for the movement of fluids in tanks and its effect on vehicle dynamics ➡️ Wind shear compensation: countering atmospheric disturbances during ascent ➡️ Structural bending & flex modes: managing how the vehicle’s primary structure responds to aerodynamic and thrust loads ➡️ Precision payload delivery: hitting the exact target orbit, every time Our team at NordSpace has been advancing our propulsion systems on many fronts, as we work to unveil our orbital-scale, pump-fed Hadfield and Garneau rocket engines in the near future — the engines that will carry Canada to orbit for the first time, and unlock sovereign access to space. Check out some of our rocket hardware, meet our engineers, join over 400 attendees and over 40 speakers at the Canadian Space Launch Conference, taking place this May 5th in Ottawa.

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.
