China launched a reusable experimental spacecraft into orbit on Saturday using a Long March-2F carrier rocket. The launch took place at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the country’s northwest, according to the state news agency Xinhua.
This marks the fourth time China has deployed a reusable spacecraft since 2020, demonstrating ongoing progress in its space technology capabilities.
**Why this matters**
Reusable spacecraft can reduce the cost of space missions by allowing vehicles to be recovered and flown multiple times. China’s continued development in this area highlights its efforts to advance space exploration and compete in the global aerospace sector.
