China’s Landspace Recovers First Stage After Second Zhuque‑3 Launch

China’s private launch company Landspace successfully recovered the first stage of its Zhuque‑3 rocket on Tuesday, following the rocket’s second orbital launch from the Gobi Desert. The launch marked the second time the Zhuque‑3 has reached orbit, and the first‑stage booster was brought back to Earth in a controlled landing. The recovery demonstrates Landspace’s progress toward reusable launch vehicle technology and confirms the reliability of the Zhuque‑3’s design for future missions.
