LandSpace postpones Zhuque-3 booster catch after rocket blast
LandSpace's planned August 10-11 second launch and first-stage catch attempt of its reusable Zhuque-3 rocket was postponed following the explosion of an unrelated CASC Long March 7A rocket at the Wenchang Space Launch Site on August 10. Launch trackers now list a new no-earlier-than target of August 31, 2026 from the Dongfeng pad at Jiuquan; neither LandSpace nor Chinese state media has given an official cause for the postponement or a confirmed new date.
