China’s private space race just got a major boost as LandSpace successfully landed the first stage of its Zhuque-3 rocket — a historic feat that puts it in elite company with only a handful of global firms mastering orbital-class booster recovery. Built from heat-resistant stainless steel and fueled by cleaner methane, this reusable rocket aims for up to 20 flights, slashing launch costs. After earlier setbacks, including failed attempts by both LandSpace and China’s state-backed Long March 12A, this ground landing marks a turning point. The company plans to reuse the booster within six months, paving the way for affordable, frequent commercial launches and solidifying China’s rising role in the future of space tech.
