Exclusive insights into China's plans for reusable rockets. Get the latest on test flights and the country's ambitions in the space industry.

China will launch test flights for two new reusable rockets within two years. The country’s main state-owned space industry contractor, The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation , plans to launch a 13-foot diameter reusable rocket in 2025 and a five-meter-diameter reusable rocket in 2026.

While NASA has specifically invested in the US private sector to leverage its arsenal of innovations, including reusable rocket technology, the space agency’s investment of billions of dollars into the SLS program means it somewhat relies on the private sector – namely SpaceX – for cost-effective rocket launches.
