Chinese aerospace firm Cosmoleap, founded in March 2024, has successfully developed a prototype for a rocket booster catching arm, similar to SpaceX's Mechazilla. The company has secured $14 million in funding to further develop a rocket comparable in size to SpaceX's Falcon 9, with a targeted launch date set for 2026. Additionally, the Chinese Space Agency has revealed a model of the Long March 9, a fully reusable rocket designed for lunar missions, which features a catching mechanism for its boosters. At the recent China Airshow in Zhuhai, Landspace CEO Zhang Changwu announced plans for multiple launches of the Zhuque-2 rockets, with six planned for 2025 and another six for 2026. The Zhuque-3 is also set to debut in 2025, aiming for three launches that year and twelve in 2026. The Long March 9 is positioned as China's response to SpaceX's Starship, emphasizing the country's growing capabilities in space exploration.
