Reusable rocket developers aim for new heights

Building on the remarkable progress achieved in recent years, China's commercial reusable rocket developers are poised to reach new heights.

Guowang and Spacesail, two of China's major low Earth orbit satellite internet constellations, are aiming to place tens of thousands of satellites in orbit, creating a robust market foundation for the country's commercial launches.

Vast market demand will serve as a powerful driving force, propelling continuous innovation and breakthroughs in reusable rocket technology, while accelerating the widespread application of new technologies, materials, processes and testing methods, said Meng Xianbo, chief strategy officer of Galactic Energy, a Beijing-based rocket developer.
