On July 10, the Long March 10B carrier rocket was launched at the Hainan commercial space launch site. After the first and second stages of the rocket were separated for about 6 minutes, the first sub-stage returned vertically and successfully recovered on the offshore recycling platform. This is the first time that China has successfully implemented the first sub-stage controlled recycling of a launch vehicle, and it is also the first time in the world that a launch vehicle network system has been recycled. The “Pioneer” used in this rocket recycling mission was China's first rocket network recycling offshore platform remodeled by the Guangzhou Shipbuilding International Joint Research Institute of Deep Sea Science and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a subsidiary of China Shipbuilding Group Co., Ltd., for the China Launch Vehicle Technology Research Institute.
