China landed a reusable rocket for the first time. The rocket is called Long March 10B. It took off from Hainan, China, on July 10, 2026.
The rocket went up into the sky. Then the first part came back down. It landed on a floating platform in the sea. This was a big test for China's space program.
Most rockets are thrown away after one use. This makes space travel very expensive. But if we can use rockets again, it costs less money. The Long March 10B uses special hooks to catch a net on the sea platform. This is different from other rockets.
