On July 10, 2026, the Long March 10B rocket was launched from the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site. After the satellite entered orbit, the first stage went through four return stages and was accurately recovered by the Navigator platform using the world's first networked technology, completing China's first controllable rocket recovery. This solution has multiple advantages compared to the overseas landing leg mode, which fills the gap in reusable rocket technology and reduces commercial launch costs. The team plans to conduct a sub level reuse test flight within the year and continuously iterate new and more powerful rockets to help build a complete and repeatable space transportation system.Editor/Gong Ziwei
