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

🚀 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

Humbled to share that we successfully test fired 3 semi-cryogenic rocket engines simultaneously, as a cluster. All the 3 engines are 3d printed as single pieces of hardware - designed and manufactured in-house at AgniKul Cosmos Rocket Factory - 1. As with all our propulsion systems, these 3 engines are also powered by electric motor driven pumps. This test involved calibrating 6 pumps, 6 motors and tuning 6 speed control algorithms to work together in perfect sync to achieve uniform startup, steady state and shutdown performance across the entire system. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time such a test has been performed in India with semi cryogenic engines.

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.

🚀 India just made space history. Skyroot Aerospace’s Vikram-1 successfully reached orbit on its very first orbital launch attempt from ISRO’s Satish Dhawan Space Centre. Think about how difficult that is. Most new orbital rockets don’t make it on their maiden flight. Skyroot just went from development to orbit on attempt #1. And this isn’t just a win for Skyroot. 🇮🇳 India is now the 3rd country in the world. after the United States and China, to have a private company successfully demonstrate orbital launch capability. Vikram-1 reached an orbit of roughly 450 km and completed its mission in under 20 minutes. A privately developed Indian rocket, designed and built in India, reaching orbit on its first try. That’s a massive milestone for India’s private space industry. The era of Indian private spaceflight has officially arrived. 🇮🇳🚀

Some people have DMed me saying that it is impossible for things to move faster than the speed of light as described by Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Therefore a higher intelligence from another star system would be too far away to visit earth. Here Bob Lazar explains how a gravitational drive (warp drive) operates by distorting or warping space-time. The spacecraft itself is not actually moving/traveling in linear space therefore it has a linear velocity of Zero. It is not actually moving in Newtonian physics terms. Thus it is not traveling faster than the speed of light and Einstein’s theory of general relativity stands. Watch this short 3 minute clip: 👇 UAP James

How to get to Mars in just 3 months? The British startup Pulsar Fusion has presented an ambitious project — Sunbird. This is a space tug with a thermonuclear engine that can accelerate to 800,000 km/h! At this speed, you can fly to Mars in just 2-3 months, and to Jupiter or Saturn — in a few years. The engine is based on a thermonuclear reaction between deuterium and helium-3. Unlike conventional nuclear fuel, it produces almost no radioactive waste — mainly protons are released, not neutrons. The engine operates on the principle of direct fusion: the plasma is not held inside, but is immediately ejected, creating a powerful jet stream. This is simpler than complex installations on Earth, and does not require a large energy output — the reaction itself is enough. The first flight of the prototype into space is planned for 2027, and a full-fledged tugboat by 2030. In the future, Pulsar Fusion wants to build a network of "fueling stations" throughout the Solar System. Such stations will help recharge tugs and send missions even to the most distant planets.

Advancing LOX/LCH4 Dual-Propellant Cooling for HANBIT-Micro INNOSPACE has successfully completed a series of combustion tests for its upgraded 4 kN-class liquid-methane kick-stage combustor for HANBIT-Micro. 🚀 Building on the 237-second long-duration ground test in May 2024, the combustor has been advanced with a Dual-Propellant Regenerative Cooling scheme. 📈 ⚙️ Unlike conventional single-propellant regenerative cooling, this approach utilizes both fuel and oxidizer as coolants, enabling: 🔹 Reduced feed pressure requirements 🔹 Lighter propellant tanks 🔹 Lower overall kick-stage mass 🔥 By preheating and vaporizing both coolants, the system also achieves: 🔹 Improved mixing efficiency 🔹 Shorter ignition delay 🔹 Enhanced combustion stability and efficiency 💡 Overcoming High Technical Barriers Most notably, the recent test validated stable regenerative cooling under low-pressure, subcritical conditions — a technically demanding regime — and mitigated the risks associated with using liquid oxygen (LOX) as a coolant. The application of a gas–gas swirl injector further demonstrated improved mixing performance. With this milestone, INNOSPACE continues to advance methane propulsion technology and enhance the maturity of the HANBIT-Micro kick-stage system. Please stay tuned for the next phase of development. 🙌 #SpaceInnovation #HANBITMicro #KickStage #MethaneEngine #RocketEngineering #SpaceTech

Quick start of engines is important to achieve higher payload capability and better overall control of the vehicle after stage separation. We successfully demonstrated a quick start of our 1 meter long, single piece, fully 3d printed, semi cryogenic Agnite engine. The angular acceleration (rotations per second gained every second) that was achieved here is truly humbling. One advantage of liquid propellant rocket engines is that the lower stage of the vehicle can be started, checked and then flown on the launchpad. Such a procedure demands extremely rapid pump ramp up times - this is what this test validated for us. We are extremely grateful to have the opportunity to be building world class, original space technology from India, for the world with the support of IIT Madras ISRO & IN-SPACe From here on, the acceleration of engines to reach steady state will likely consume lesser and lesser fuel. #Agnibaan #RocketEngineCluster #ElectricPumpFedEngines #Agnilet #SinglePieceEngine #3dprinting #RocketEngineTest #AdditiveManufacturing #Agnikul #AgnikulCosmos #StartupIndia #MakeinIndia #madeinIndiaForTheWorld Srinath Ravichandran MOIN SPM Satyanarayanan Chakravarthy IIT Madras IITMRP IIT Madras Incubation Cell Technology Development Board DSTIndia Anusandhan National Research Foundation TIDCO Startup India StartupTN Guidance Tamil Nadu Kerala Startup Mission SIPCOT

We are extremely grateful to have the opportunity to be building world class, original space technology from India, for the world with the support of IIT Madras ISRO & IN-SPACe From here on, the acceleration of engines to reach steady state will likely consume lesser and lesser fuel. #Agnibaan #RocketEngineCluster #ElectricPumpFedEngines #Agnilet #SinglePieceEngine #3dprinting #RocketEngineTest #AdditiveManufacturing #Agnikul #AgnikulCosmos #StartupIndia #MakeinIndia #madeinIndiaForTheWorld Srinath Ravichandran MOIN SPM Satyanarayanan Chakravarthy IIT Madras IITMRP IIT Madras Incubation Cell Technology Development Board DSTIndia Anusandhan National Research Foundation TIDCO Startup India StartupTN Guidance Tamil Nadu Kerala Startup Mission SIPCOT
