Hong Kong Space Ambitions Get Boost From LandSpace Breakthrough
A milestone in reusable rocket technology has been achieved by China, with LandSpace’s Zhuque-3 Y2 rocket successfully completing its land-based recovery. This feat, previously achieved only by SpaceX, demonstrates China’s rapid progress in space technology. The Zhuque-3 is designed to be reused at least 20 times, with a stainless-steel structure offering better heat resistance at a lower manufacturing cost. This breakthrough may open doors for Hong Kong’s space ambitions, with opportunities for the city’s financial markets, research universities, and the Northern Metropolis. The achievement was reported by an unknown source.
