Move over, SpaceX—China's commercial space scene just leveled up! LandSpace, a rising star in the Chinese mainland's aerospace sector, successfully completed a 10-kilometer vertical takeoff and landing (VTVL) test this week at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The 200.7-second flight marked a first for in-flight ignition during descent, a critical step toward mastering reusable rocket tech.
Think of it like a rocket-powered game of 'leapfrog'—this test brings the company closer to launching its ZQ-3 rocket, designed to slash costs and boost sustainability in space missions. With reusable rockets becoming the holy grail of modern aerospace, LandSpace's progress signals China's growing role in the global space race. Next stop: orbit?
