China's LandSpace lands rocket booster; joins SpaceX, Blue Origin with reusable tech

Chinese startup LandSpace on Wednesday recovered the first stage of its Zhuque-3 rocket, joining SpaceX and Blue Origin as the only private companies to land an orbital-class booster. The 66.1-metre rocket lifted off from northwestern China, and its booster landed 390 km southeast of the launch pad. LandSpace aims for the Zhuque-3 booster to be reused up to 20 times.
