China's Long March 10B booster is back in port aboard the Pathfinder recovery barge after its historic first at-sea capture. Now comes the real work, as engineers inspect every detail to help shape the next generation of China's reusable rockets. 🚀

🌏🌌🛰️ China's Shenzhou-23 space station crew has completed emergency decision-making and emotional state assessments as part of ongoing research into how long-duration spaceflight affects human behaviour, China's manned space agency announced Monday.

According to rumour, Long March-12A could become only the third methalox rocket ever to achieve a successful booster landing. If it succeeds, it'll mark another major milestone for China's rapidly advancing reusable launch capabilities.

The recovered first stage of Long March-10B was clamped by the mobile platform on the recovery vessel and hoisted ashore

US–China space competition may hinge on an unlikely component: the propellant tank dome. These ultra-thin, high-strength rocket end caps are hard to mass-produce. The nation that makes them faster, cheaper and more reliably could dominate the era of reusable rockets. ( Cinematic Long March 10B )

Chinese researchers analyzing Chang’e-6 lunar samples found the Moon’s far side and near side experience different solar wind exposure. The study suggests Earth’s magnetosphere acts like a “speed regulator,” shaping how solar wind reaches the lunar surface.👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌏🌌🛰️ China's Shenzhou-23 astronauts have spent nearly 50 days aboard the Tiangong space station, conducting a wide range of scientific experiments while maintaining the orbital complex and monitoring their health.

Chinese private space company GalaxySpace has officially launched its intelligent production line for satellite communication payloads in Hefei. Once fully operational, the first phase will produce communication payloads for 50–100 satellites per year, boosting China's commercial space capabilities.

Chang'e-7 Update: The Long March 5 Y14 rocket has arrived safely at Wenchang Space Launch Site to support China's upcoming Chang'e-7 lunar mission. It will now be integrated with the spacecraft for final assembly and testing ahead of its planned launch later this year. 🚀🌖

Quality video from CGTN : Why does the reusability of rockets matter?

What an incredible close-up of the #LongMarch10B launch and its precision sea recovery. The roar of the engines, the searing plume of exhaust, and the almost surreal sight of the booster returning under complete control made for an unforgettable spectacle.

The Chang'e-7 lunar probe is scheduled for launch in the second half of 2026. It aims to achieve breakthroughs in key technologies on the lunar surface, such as high-precision soft landing, legged movements, hopping, and exploration of permanently shadowed craters.
