The debut of @ulalaunch's Vulcan rocket, a Boeing-Lockheed joint venture, has brought a formidable challenge to SpaceX's dominance in the space industry. The Vulcan rocket is seen as a competitor to SpaceX's Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy. Meanwhile, Chinese startup Orienspace successfully launched its most powerful rocket, the Gravity-1, from a marine platform in the Yellow Sea, intensifying the competition among local companies to compete with foreign firms like SpaceX. The rocket can carry a payload of up to 6,500 kg into low Earth orbit, setting global records for solid rocket thrust and solid bundle launch vehicle design.
China apparently also has SpaceX-like private rocket companies. This one successfully launched some satellites into space from a sea platform. Anyone know why they did it from the sea near northern Shandong province instead of in the south where it’s cheaper to launch? https://t.co/BBWcNuEJiE
