On August 26, the reusable flight test of the lift type suborbital launch vehicle independently developed by the China launch vehicle technology research institute under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd. was successfully completed.
This is the news from China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd. on the 26th. It is reported that the carrier used in the flight test, after health inspection and maintenance, ignited again at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and took off vertically, completed the sub orbital flight according to the set procedures, landed stably and horizontally at the Alxa Right Banner airport, and successfully realized the first re-use flight of China's sub orbital carrier. The complete success of this flight test has strongly promoted the leap forward development of China's space transportation technology from one-time use to repeated use.
Only two countries in the world have reusable small space shuttles - China and the United States. The United States has the X-37B small space shuttle.
