Lan Jian Aerospace executive: Hope to complete rocket recovery by mid-2026.

In an interview on the podcast "Technology News" released by the Deputy Chief Designer of Zhuque-3, Dong Kai, on Tuesday, he said: "For Zhuque-3, the maiden flight is just the beginning. We are adjusting our plans and hope to achieve successful recovery by mid-2026. Once successful, the three-stage rocket we have produced will be quickly put into iteration, including structural weight reduction, extension of recovery sites, and replacement of the 12B engine, with the goal of evolving to a 'complete body' around 2026. After that, the focus will shift to shortening the launch cycle and increasing frequency."
