China has recovered the first stage of a Long March-10B carrier rocket using a net system at sea – a world first for reusable rocket technology. The launch took place from the Hainan International Commercial Aerospace Launch Center in south China, sending a satellite into preset orbit. About six minutes later, the rocket booster was captured by a cable recovery system on a specially designed vessel off the coast of Hainan. The mission marks China's first controlled recovery of a rocket's first stage and the world's first rocket recovery using a net system. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: I
