In the past 12 months, there has been a massive increase in Chinese (suborbital) vertical take-off vertical landing (VTVL) activity, bringing China closer to achieving rocket reusability. The first orbital Chinese rocket is scheduled to be recovered by the end of 2024, and multiple heavy-lift rocket recovery attempts are planned for 2025.
In this video, we review the 8 most promising Chinese reusable rocket candidates, discuss similarities and differences, and deep dive into their progress over the past 3 years.
