"Chinese Startup Landspace Achieves Milestone with Reusable Rocket Test"

Chinese startup Landspace successfully launched and landed a test version of its reusable rocket prototype, Zhuque-3, at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Inner Mongolia. The rocket reached an altitude of 1,150 feet and landed within 7.9 feet of its target, marking a significant milestone for the company's goal of developing a reusable launch vehicle. Landspace aims to start flying the Zhuque-3 in 2025, with the rocket capable of carrying up to 40,350 pounds to low Earth orbit in reusable mode.
