日本が再利用可能ロケットの実験をしていたのは1990年代のことだ。 日本は2003年にすでに再利用可能ロケットの離着陸に成功していた。 その後、予算がカットされて、25年間も研究がストップしていた。 今回の実験は、失われていた技術の復活と継承が行われたにすぎない。

RVT-9 (Reusable Vehicle Testing 9) successfully completed three planned flights between 2003 10.14-31 1st flight 10m 2nd flight 20m 3rd flight 43.3m 　 What happened after is a typical stories in Japan. Not enough funding to pursue further testing. Problem in Japan is after WWII, government, law, prosection is slowly and now completely taken over by Unification Church members and Korean Japanese. CIA and KCIA did a great job for this. : )　 During the May 20 party leaders' debate, Sanseito leader Sohei Kamiya requested the disclosure of candidates' "naturalization history" for national and local elections. Prime Minister Takaichi opposed the idea, stating that it requires careful consideration from the perspective of equality under the law.

🚀 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

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.

ELON IN 2010: FULLY REUSABLE ROCKET NEEDED TO MAKE LIFE MULTI-PLANETARY "The really big breakthrough, the fundamental invention that's needed to make life multi-planetary, is a fully reusable orbit-class rocket system. The Space Shuttle is partly reusable, but the main tank is thrown away every time, and even the parts that are supposed to be reusable are so difficult to reuse or refurbish that the Space Shuttle costs about four times as much per flight as an equivalent expendable vehicle. There have been many attempts to build a reusable rocket system, but they have always been canceled once they discovered that success was not one of the possible outcomes. But this is fundamentally something that has to be solved if life's got to become multi-planetary. At SpaceX, we're hoping to make some progress in that direction."

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.

China has mastered—with greater efficiency and lower costs—a capability that was once the exclusive domain of the West. Footage from China showcases a rocket developed by Space Epoch (Beijing Jianyuan Technology), designed to be among the first Chinese rockets capable of landing at sea, being recovered, and undergoing reuse. The project relies on reusable rocket technology, paving the way for reduced launch costs and an accelerated pace of commercial spaceflight. The significance of this rocket lies not merely in its role as a new launch vehicle, but in how it reflects China’s progress in a critical modern space technology—one that enables lower costs for accessing space and a substantial increase in launch frequency. It also exemplifies the rapid growth of China’s commercial space sector and its ability to develop technologies that were long the exclusive preserve of a select few nations and companies, thereby opening the door to more frequent and cost-effective satellite launches and space missions. For China, a rocket that lands, is recovered, and is reused translates into more launches, lower costs, and a significant step toward building a large-scale space economy.

🚨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.
