Foreign media: China has launched its first drone ship for recovering reusable rockets, becoming the second country after the United States to master this technology.
This marks an important step forward for China in developing reusable rocket technology, which helps reduce the cost of space travel and promote the development of the commercial space industry.
The drone ship is named "Interstellar Return," developed by the private aerospace company iSpace based in Beijing. It will be used in the future to recover various medium and large reusable rockets. It is equipped with a dynamic positioning system, allowing it to operate autonomously. The recovery deck area is 2400 square meters, sufficient to accommodate the first-stage rocket booster returning from space.
