China's Desperate Attempt to Copy SpaceX Rocket REUSE System, but FAILED...
Again, China has just launched a new rocket in an attempt to replicate SpaceX’s reusable rocket system. However, the outcome remains unchanged, and the effort has ended in failure.
Why is copying SpaceX proving to be so difficult?
At the same time, the country has revealed the first official details of a new space station resupply vehicle.
Meanwhile, Russia is moving forward with plans for a gravity-based space station project.
Let us explore all of this on today’s episode of Great SpaceX.
China's Desperate Attempt to Copy SpaceX Rocket REUSE System, but FAILED...
In the previous episode, we discussed the challenges surrounding multiple Asian rocket launches that took place within less than a single day, focusing specifically on vehicles from Japan and South Korea. However, there was also a far more significant launch from China that deserves closer attention.
This launch involved China’s Long March 12A rocket, which lifted off at 9:00 p.m. on December 22. The mission departed from the Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Test Zone at the Jiuquan Spaceport. Unlike many previous Chinese launches, this flight carried ambitions that extended well beyond simply reaching orbit.

The primary objective of this mission was to attempt a vertical landing of the booster after stage separation. This approach closely mirrors the reusable launch vehicle strategies pioneered by SpaceX and, more recently, pursued domestically by companies such as LandSpace with its Zhuque 3 rocket. The goal was clear. China is actively working to demonstrate that it can recover and reuse large orbital-class rocket boosters, rather than discarding them after a single flight.
During ascent, the mission appeared to progress smoothly. The rocket successfully cleared the launch tower, maintained stable flight, and completed stage separation as planned. Following separation, the booster initiated its descent sequence and attempted a reentry burn. The target was a designated landing pad located approximately 250 kilometers away in Minqin County, within Gansu Province.
