- Chinese rocket scientists find ‘most effective’ way to nuke a doomsday asteroid
Chinese researchers propose using a nuclear bomb buried beneath an asteroid's surface to destroy or deflect it. The method involves a metal penetrator creating a hole, followed by a spacecraft dropping the bomb, based on simulations by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology in Beijing.
- China successfully tests sea-based rocket booster recovery system
China successfully tested a sea-based rocket booster recovery system using a net on an offshore platform, marking its first retrieval of an orbital-class rocket. The Long March 10B rocket, developed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, aims to reduce launch costs for commercial satellite constellations and support lunar missions.
