China recovered its first reusable rocket and showed a new way to do it
China recovered its first reusable orbital-class rocket booster in the South China Sea using a novel four-legged frame and grid-cable capture method. The Long March 10B rocket launched from Hainan Island, with the booster descending 10 minutes later while the upper stage deployed a payload named CX-26.
