China has successfully recovered the first stage of its Long March-10B carrier rocket, marking a major step toward reusable launch technology. The booster was captured using a sea-based cable-and-net recovery system after the rocket's maiden flight. In an interview with CGTN Europe, Dhara Patel, a space expert at the UK's National Space Center, said reusability could reduce launch costs, increase launch frequency and create less rocket debris, making access to space more efficient and sustainable. 00:00 China lands orbital-class rocket booster 00:21 Why most rockets are expendable 00:47 China demonstrates reusable rocket technology 01:08 Why rocket reusability is a game changer 01:19 Lower costs and faster launch cadence 01:49 Environmental benefits of reusable rockets 📺 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.
