China Successfully Tests SpaceX-like Re-Landing Rocket

In 2022, the China National Space Agency (CNSA) expressed its intention to use a rocket system capable of landing back on earth like the rocket used by SpaceX. This week the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST) announced their successful launch of a rocket with this capability in the Gobi Desert.The test was carried out on June 23 with a rocket equipped with three liquid methane-oxygen engines successfully launched up to a height of 12 kilometers before landing back on earth. Like the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, the SAST rocket has four sticks that allow for a vertical landing.This time the rocket has a diameter of 3.5 meters but next year SAST will test a rocket with a diameter of 4 meters with the ability to launch a cargo weighing 6500 kilograms into an orbit 300 kilometers from the earth. The next plan is a rocket with a diameter of 7 meters with the ability to launch a cargo weighing 20,000 kilograms into an orbit 300 kilometers from the earth.A rocket that can return to earth and be recycled will reduce launch costs compared to the Long March rockets that CNSA uses for their current missions.
