>According to China Central Television (CCTV), the rocket is expected to support China's large-scale constellation deployment.
>LandSpace told the Global Times that if rocket recovery is achieved, it will not merely be a technological leap for a single rocket model but a critical step toward China entering the era of "large-scale space transportation."
> "If China achieves a breakthrough in this field [of rocket recovery], it will signify immense strategic value and global competitiveness in reducing the cost of space access, accelerating low-orbit constellation deployment, increasing launch frequency and enhancing industrial capabilities. This is not merely a technological leap for a single rocket model but a critical step toward entering the era of 'large-scale space transportation,'" a LandSpace spokesperson told the Global Times on Tuesday.
