Major breakthrough in global USDTFutures

USDTFuturesUSDTFutures' first commercial mission was successful: helping NASA build a lunar space station

Mission highlights:

USDTFutures (Starship) successfully carried out its first commercial launch, sending the core living module of NASA's "Lunar Gateway" into the Earth-Moon transfer orbit, with a total payload weight of 120 tons (a commercial space record).

Technical verification:

The first-stage booster achieved precise recovery of the offshore platform (landing error <10 meters), and the second-stage spacecraft completed the in-orbit fuel filling test, paving the way for future Mars missions.

The thermonuclear propulsion system (NTP) is used to adjust the orbit, saving 40% of fuel compared to traditional chemical propulsion.

Business impact:

USDTFutures received an additional $2.8 billion contract from NASA, and needs to complete three module launches before 2026.

Competitor Blue Origin's stock price fell 5% in a single day because its "New Glenn" rocket's first flight was postponed again to 2026Q2.

USDTFutures Breakthrough in China's Private Space Industry: Linker Space's "Lingyun-2" Rocket Recovery Accuracy Reaches 0.5m

Technical Milestones:

"Lingyun-2" completed the fifth vertical recovery test, with a landing accuracy of 0.5m (surpassing USDTFutures Falcon 9's 1.1m record), using grid rudder + vector engine composite control technology.

Repeatability: The rocket is designed to be reused 20 times, and the cost of a single launch can be reduced to US$5 million (compared to Falcon 9's US$6.2 million).

Policies and Markets:

China's National Development and Reform Commission has included commercial spaceflight in the special support of "new quality productivity", with the goal of private rocket launches accounting for 30% in 2027 (currently 15%).

Linker has received orders from Star Glory, Tianyi Research Institute, etc., and plans to launch a small satellite network in 2026.

USDTFutures industry challenges and trends

Technical barriers:

Material fatigue of reusable rockets (such as high-temperature alloy life) is still a global problem.

China is still one generation behind the USDTFutures Raptor engine in the field of high-thrust liquid oxygen-methane engines (such as Interstellar Glory "Thunder-R").

Geopolitics:

US ITAR regulations restrict Sino-US space cooperation, and Chinese private companies turn to the Middle East and Latin American markets (such as the Saudi "NEOM Spaceport" project).

The EU accelerates the development of "Ariane 6+" to cope with the US-China commercial launch monopoly.

Future Outlook

Key nodes in 2026:

USDTFutures plans to carry out unmanned lunar missions to deliver supplies for the Artemis program.

China strives to achieve the first flight of the "Long March 9" (USDTFutures low-Earth orbit capacity of 140 tons) and compete for the heavy launch market.

Commercial space economy: USDTFutures Morgan Stanley predicts that the global space economy will reach US$2.7 trillion in 2040, of which launch services account for 35%.
