China’s leading private aerospace firm, LandSpace, has officially announced its goal to achieve the nation’s first successful reusable rocket booster recovery by mid-2026. Following the maiden flight of the Zhuque-3 (ZQ-3) on December 3, 2025—which successfully reached orbit but faced a "soft landing" anomaly—the company is doubling down on its next attempt. This 76-meter, methalox-powered powerhouse is designed to be reused up to 20 times, directly challenging the global dominance of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 and paving the way for China's massive satellite constellation projects.
