Disaster! China's Billion Yuan to Copy All SpaceX Rockets, making laugh at Elon Musk...
In recent years, China has emerged as a formidable competitor to the United States across various fronts in the aerospace industry. One of their most evident strategies is replicating ideas from industry leaders.
At present, SpaceX is clearly the primary target that the Chinese government encourages its domestic space companies to closely follow. By studying SpaceX’s achievements, these companies aim not only to imitate but also to catch up in the race for space development. To accelerate this effort, China is willing to invest billions of dollars in bold space projects—so long as they are based on SpaceX’s proven successes.

Recently, the Chinese launch company iSpace, officially known as Beijing Interstellar Glory Space Technology Ltd., has secured a significant financial boost through its Series D funding round, reportedly valued at 'hundreds of millions' of yuan.
This investment marks a pivotal moment for the private aerospace firm as it continues its ambitious push to advance China's commercial space sector.
These funds are primarily allocated for the development of the Hyperbola-3 rocket, a next-generation reusable launch vehicle inspired by SpaceX’s achievements with the Falcon 9.

iSpace aims to achieve key milestones with this project, including a first orbital launch and sea-based recovery in December 2025, followed by a reuse test flight in June 2026.
The Hyperbola-3 rocket was designed as a medium-to-large-scale reusable launch vehicle. It is intended to compete in the growing global market for cost-effective space access. The rocket stands approximately 69 meters tall and is powered by methane-liquid oxygen (methalox) engines, specifically the Focus-1 (JiaoDian-1) and potentially the more powerful JiaoDian-2 engines, which boast a thrust capability in the 100-ton range. In its reusable configuration, Hyperbola-3 is expected to lift 8.5 metric tons to low Earth orbit (LEO), while its expendable mode could handle up to 13.4 metric tons—or possibly as much as 14,000 kg .
