benchmarking against spacex in the united states, my country's commercial aerospace company has achieved ten-kilometer-level rocket recovery for the first time.

at 12:00 on september 11, 2024, the suzaku-3 vtvl-1 reusable vertical take-off and landing recovery test rocket independently developed by blue arrow space technology co., ltd. was successfully launched at the blue arrow liquid oxygen and methane rocket launch station at the jiuquan satellite launch center in my country, marking the first time that a commercial aerospace company has achieved a ten-kilometer-level vertical take-off and landing return flight test.

the success of this flight test mission marks a major breakthrough in china's commercial space industry in reusable launch vehicle technology. blue arrow aerospace said that in the next three years, it is expected to achieve large-capacity, low-cost, high-frequency, reusable space launches.

"this 10-kilometer recovery mission is of great significance and is more challenging than restoring the rocket. secondary ignition is very difficult," the investor told china business news. "i hope landspace can become the first company to break out of china's commercial space race."

achieved secondary ignition in mid-air for the first time

according to blue arrow aerospace, this mission is the first time in china to achieve secondary ignition of a vertical take-off and landing return rocket in the air, and has achieved technical verification such as the joint guidance and control of "grid rudder-cold air attitude control-engine" in a transonic high dynamic pressure environment, as well as the engineering application of real-time wind correction technology for high-altitude winds.

zhuque-3 is the next generation of reusable rocket of landspace. a reporter from china business news learned from relevant personnel of landspace that the next step for landspace will be to try to put the rocket into orbit, and the next step will be to realize the recovery of the rocket and go-around.
