China prepares first booster reflight and another rocket-stage recovery attempt
China is moving closer to reusable launch operations as it prepares to fly a previously used booster for the first time. The Chang Zheng 12A will also make a second attempt to recover its first stage, which would make it the third Chinese rocket to achieve a recovery. The cluster also reports preparations for the country’s first commercial resupply craft.
