Chinese company Landspace targets Aug. 10 for historic rocket launch and landing attempt

Landspace, a Chinese commercial launch company, is preparing for a critical mission aimed at achieving both a successful rocket launch and subsequent landing. The planned date for this ambitious endeavor is August 10th, marking their second attempt at capturing an orbital rocket. This target launch and landing window represents a significant step forward in the development of reusable rockets within China’s space sector. The company intends to demonstrate the viability of fully autonomous operations throughout the entire flight profile. Landspace's success would bolster confidence in the growing number of private companies involved in developing advanced space technologies.
