Rocket Report: Say cheerio to Orbex; China is getting good at booster landings
摘要
本期《火箭报告》重点关注全球航天动态。中国长征十号火箭缩比模型成功发射并完成精准海上着陆，标志着中国在可重复使用火箭领域快速追赶美国。此外，英国发射公司Orbex因收购失败进入破产程序，该公司成立十年仍未产出可飞行的成熟硬件。报告还涵盖了大、中、小型运载火箭的最新进展及未来三次发射预告。
Welcome to Edition 8.29 of the Rocket Report! We have a stuffed report this week with news from across the launch spectrum. Long-term, probably the most significant development this week was a subscale version of the Long March 10 rocket successfully launching and then executing a picture-perfect ocean landing. China is catching up rapidly to the United States when it comes to reusable launch.
As always, we welcome reader submissions, and if you don't want to miss an issue, please subscribe using the box below (the form will not appear on AMP-enabled versions of the site). Each report will include information on small-, medium-, and heavy-lift rockets as well as a quick look ahead at the next three launches on the calendar.
Orbex is going away. The UK-based launch company Orbex has entered insolvency proceedings after a planned takeover by European space logistics startup The Exploration Company fell through, European Spaceflight reports. In a statement, Orbex said the decision came after all "fundraising, merger and acquisition opportunities had all concluded unsuccessfully." For anyone paying attention, this decision should not come as a surprise. A decade into its existence, Orbex had yet to produce demonstrable, ready-for-flight hardware.
