The floodgates are open after another Chinese company lands a reusable rocket

China’s launch sector recorded a second successful orbital-class booster landing, following the first recovery just over a month earlier, demonstrating rapid progress in domestic reusable-rocket capability. The achievement mirrors the U.S. timeline, where Blue Origin needed a decade after SpaceX’s 2015 Falcon 9 landing, while multiple Chinese firms—both state-run under CASC and privately funded—pursue reusable launch vehicles.
