China on Friday recovered the first stage of the Long March-10B carrier rocket following its maiden flight, marking a new milestone in the country's development of reusable launch technology. The rocket lifted off from launchpad No. 2 at the Hainan International Commercial Aerospace Launch Center in south China's Hainan Province, sending a satellite into preset orbit. Around six minutes after liftoff, the reusable component – the first-stage booster – was captured by a cable recovery system on board a specially designed vessel in waters off Hainan. The mission marked the world's first successful recovery of a carrier rocket using the net system and China's first maritime recovery of a rocket booster. 📺 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 o
