China Successfully Launches Reusable Pallas-1 Rocket
Galactic Energy, a Chinese aerospace manufacturer, successfully launched its reusable Pallas-1 rocket on Tuesday. The rocket, which can carry up to 7 tonnes into low Earth orbit, marked a significant step in China's commercial space ambitions. Pallas-1 is designed for up to 25 flights and its first stage is powered by seven liquid oxygen-kerosene engines developed in-house. The launch brings China closer to rival SpaceX's reusable rocket technology.5 sourcesSee all sources
