Monitor · Unattributed ballistic launch

This event was withdrawn.

Withdrawn: a routine commercial satellite launch published as an unattributed ballistic launch at our maximum severity. The Gravity-1 carrier rocket placed nine satellites in orbit successfully. We hold no category for space or orbital activity, so the record was filed under the nearest heading we had, and that heading asserts something the evidence never did. The launch happened; what we called it was ours, not the sources. The address is permanent, and if another source carries it this page returns at the same URL.

Chinese reusable rocket recovery tests and launch developments reported

Reports detail progress in China's development of reusable launch vehicles, including the recovery of the Zhuque-3 rocket and sea-recovery tests for the Long March 10B. Analysts note that while recovery milestones have been reached, capabilities for rapid refurbishment and high-frequency reuse remain to be demonstrated. The full timeline for operational high-frequency reuse has not been confirmed.
