The Chinese space industry seems determined to break SpaceX’s dominance in the industry. Chinese China Aerospace Science and Technology company (CASC) wants to produce reusable rockets by using new generation technologies. It is said that the company plans to catch the returning rockets with some kind of hook system.
Thus, it is anticipated that research costs will be significantly reduced. While it is said that the company aims to officially launch these rockets within 2 years, we can state that the project is a part of China’s 2030 space research vision. Here are the most important details about the subject…
China launches Space X rival
CASC will decelerate through the engines during landing, just like Falcon 9 rockets. However, this process will be implemented with a special hook system instead of modular legs. The wires placed on the platform will be attached to the hooks, thus ensuring a safe descent. This method has been found quite clever by many experts.
The country, which wants to send a Chinese astronaut into space by 2030, has already made huge investments in this field. Galactic Energy, another company operating in the country, will officially launch its special Pallas-1 rockets this year.
It is claimed that these developments have unsettled many organizations operating in the space sector, especially SpaceX and Blue Origin. If China achieves its goals, the cards could be re-dealt in the industry.
