In February 2026, the Long March 10A carrier rocket completed a low-altitude demonstration and verification flight and safely splashed at sea. The maritime search and recycling unit completed the first level of the rocket's arrow body salvage and recycling. This is also the first time that China has carried out a carrier rocket search and recovery mission at sea. This type of test rocket is mainly used for manned lunar exploration missions, taking into account the operation of near-Earth space stations. Chen Muye said that the significance of the first flight of Changshibai to China's commercial space development is to break through low-cost, high-capacity reuse rocket technology, enhance the competitiveness of China's commercial space in the international market, continue to vigorously promote the development process of China's next-generation manned rockets, and at the same time accelerate the formation of a normalized launch capability for China's reusable rockets. In the future, the rocket will undertake low-orbit satellite networking and other commercial launch missions to support large-scale networking needs such as low-orbit satellite networks and mid-orbit communication satellites.
