Nayuta Space #china is designing a new catch system with a dual wire system for dampening light impact with assistance of engines of the sides of the #rocket. This method is currently still in development but is looking to be attached to drone ship/barge at sea.

@raz_liu Is this for the CZ-10 or a commercial test?

@Orbital_Perigee Each are based of Chinese culture, for the CZ-10B it means good fortune for a successful flight in Chinese culture. So not inspired by Vulcan.

Vulcan is undoubtedly the rocket which has had the most influence on the Chinese rocket paint scheme industry

@raz_liu Can't help but notice the oddly short payload fairing. Maybe dry or small payload first mission

CZ-10B is being transported to Pad-2, The rocket has grid-fins & hooks. First stage if capable of a stage recvoery. via douyin/菠菜

@FranciscoSpace5 @FireflySpace @jeff_foust @Seagate_Space That's why china has several rockets with this capability

@FireflySpace @jeff_foust @Seagate_Space That’s a good idea

As part of our commitment to advancing responsive space missions across the globe, Firefly is working with @Seagate_Space to explore sea-based launch capabilities for Alpha that open access to new orbits and inclinations. Read more here: seagatespace.com/apr-6-2026-fir…

@PhazzeeYeehaw Moving forward timelines, that is a good sign that a new race for the moon is getting underway

The Long March 10A's debut flight has reportedly been moved up to the middle of the year with an experimental lunar satellite, while the Mengzhou-1 mission is still slated for later in the year Details -> china-in-space.com/p/long-march-1…

@raz_liu Has there been any information of they are primarily building for, as example long march series or commercial sector?

Xiangshan LC may come back to life. Ningbo city gov opens a bidding for Ningbo Aerospace industry compound with a value of 8.66 billion rmb.

A small city is appearing as CZ-10B/C will be assembled right down the road from ispace hyperbola-3

Azspace will progress with this plan in June and the summer will contain a return from this unnamed space station as well.

Azspace completes design review for space station 1.0 configuration. Two variants of the B-300 spacecraft will launch in Q2 of 2026 completing experiments while docked. One is intended to stay in orbit while the other is designed for return after 1 month. #spacestation #china

@dsshhh112 Does it have a payload and customer or is the first flight of this version flying empty

The upgraded Zhuque-2E will launch at 12:00 on March 19. It has no tail fins, a longer first stage, and greatly enhanced payload capacity.

@raz_liu What are the changes to the zq-2e, for starters it's taller but why and what about payload, has anything leaked

LJ-2 also vertical at JSLC + Close-up shot of the next day's ZQ-2E

@Xenxen555 @PhazzeeYeehaw Suspected ocean splash down

@PhazzeeYeehaw That would be curious, it's known that the base model can't orbital launch *and* land, mutually exclusive. However this one doesn't have landing legs so... it won't be doing either?... Weird plan

Deep Blue Aerospace hardware every few months

@TAbusnardo Is there any details on the habits, like weight, rocket and size?

btw base module model of SAST lander graphic is same as one from 2023 SAST/CMSA lunar base proposal, tbh wouldn't read too much into it +CAST studying a "common landing cushioning & transportation platform" that can crawl (!) for ILRS delivery, would it be dropped by a Lanyue PM?

According to Yang Liwei, the Wangyu Lunar EVA suit will complete its electrical , structural , thermal control environment test in 2026 and will enter the Flight model R&D Phase following this, a phase which typically precedes operational readiness by less than 2 years.

@junshiguancha1 @grok is this true

Deep Blue Aerospace apparently have a nebula 1 in preparation at Shandong. More information later on version and flight plans.

Ispace works on extra testing facilities at Hainan meant for hyperbola 3 development and open to other rocket companies. Capable of a 300 ton class engine or 1000 ton launch vehicle up to 5 meters it boosts ispace as the leading member of commercial infrastructure at Wencheng.

CZ-10B fairing and 2nd stage has been spotted at Wencheng preparing for a launch in the first half of this year. It will launch from HICAL LC-2.

@Master2udarnit @PLA_MilitaryUpd More like the US

@PLA_MilitaryUpd China should have a new government by then

At this rapid speed, the Type 004 would be launched to sea within 2027 and possibly put into sea trials by late 2028

@PreciousIg17212 @BRICSinfo So is trump but nothing happened to him in the western system, even when he went against his own country (Congress)

@BRICSinfo Ok when he is done , he will face the western court because he is a war criminal.

JUST IN: 🇷🇺 President Putin says Russian legal system is now more fair than Western courts.
