Neutron is a reusable medium-lift rocket developed by Rocket Lab for launching large payloads into space. It is powered by nine Archimedes engines on the first stage and a single vacuum-optimized Archimedes engine on the second stage, using liquid methane and oxygen. It can carry up to 13,000 kilograms...

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.

BREAKING: Inside Rocket Lab's ( $RKLB ) Engine Development Center How Archimedes & Rutherford are made FACTORY TOUR (Part III) Sir Peter Beck walks us through Rocket Lab's engine factory in Long Beach, CA. It used to be Sir Richard Branson's $1.2B Virgin Orbit's facility. When it went bankrupt, Rocket Lab bought the building & every machine in it for $16M against over $100M of assets. I asked if he keeps a list of which companies might d*e next.. he said yes. Roughly 10 people now run one of the largest 3D print shops in the industry, turning out a Rutherford engine every day and an Archimedes every 8 days. We cover: › Buying a competitor's factory for 16 cents on the dollar › Why space companies are almost impossible to k*ll › Why Archimedes was designed to be the most boring engine possible › Why it qualifies on 1 hour of runtime & Rutherford on 5 minutes › The hot fire that ate its own injector and kept running Plus: whether investors are any good at space diligence, methane vs kerosene & the soot problem, the machine arriving next year that prints a whole engine in one go, & Beck's hot take on where the industry actually is.
