Landspace's successful 10-kilometer vertical takeoff and landing test marks a significant step towards the development of a reusable rocket, showcasing advanced technology and future potential.
"All indicators met the expected design," Landspace declared, emphasizing that this test positions them closer to launching their Zhuque-3 rocket next year and affirms their design's viability.
China's launch industry is rapidly advancing, leveraging technologies such as mid-flight engine reignition, akin to SpaceX's early rocket tests, which highlights the increasing competitiveness in this sector.
"The 18.3-meter vehicle ascended to 10,002 meters and achieved an on-target propulsive landing, demonstrating improved control during descent, an essential criterion for future reusable rockets."
