Chinese rocket maker” Space Epok” announced on Sunday the development of reusable rockets for express delivery services.
The company said it is collaborating with Alibaba Group’s Taobao e-commerce platform on this project, which can reach anywhere in the world within one hour.
The pilot project involves the development of a rocket that carries up to ten tons of cargo in a 120-cubic-meter container.
Beijing-based SpaceEpoch said it would use its Yuancheng-1 rocket, which has completed tests to measure combustion in the engine and recover it from areas at sea over the past year.
The company will conduct tests of the use of missiles in delivery services in the near future, noting that achieving its goals will not be easy in the short term.
