LinkSpace - The New Player
Apparently there is a new player in town - a private Chinese company that has the goal of developing a reusable rocket with propulsive landing. Kind of like SpaceX thing.
Their current project is a smallish (20 m tall, 1,8 m diameter, 33 t) kerolox rocket with 200 kg of payload capacity to 500 km Sun synchronous orbit.
From their website http://linkspace.com.cn :
How have we missed that?
But according to https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2017/09/linkspace-is-a-chinese-startup-t
I think this is near-clean-sheet attempt. The only thing I wonder is why do they start small.
There's actually a link to an (apparently) older site - so it's older than Sept. 2017, the earliest posts I found was from July 2014 (post already dead however). I think it might have changed name, the actual name was Ling or Feiying. It mentions family members and crowdfunding. It started with solid rockets, then it went with injector designs. It even had solid rocket launch attempts back in Dec.
