Major Breakthrough! China Achieves First Land-Based Rocket Recovery

Zhuque-3 Y2 rocket successfully completed China's first reusable launch vehicle first-stage landing leg recovery, taking only three years from project approval to recovery. The first-stage cost accounts for approximately 70% of the entire rocket, and the more times it is reused, the lower the launch cost. This technological breakthrough is expected to significantly reduce the cost of low-orbit constellation deployment and accelerate the construction of the "six networks."
