The first flight of Long March 10B was successfully recovered, and China's commercial aerospace has entered the era of reuse

On July 10, 2026, the Long March 10B carrier rocket successfully made its maiden flight in Hainan and achieved a first stage sea based network recovery, marking China's first controllable recovery and the world's first use of network based capture methods. This move marks China becoming the second country after the United States to master the technology of high-capacity reusable rockets, providing low-cost support for low orbit constellation networking and manned moon landing, and opening a new chapter in commercial space exploration.
