+# Long March 10
+
+China's Long March 10 is a heavy-lift carrier rocket program with reusable first-stage capability. The LM-10B reusable variant uses restartable engines, grid fins, and a novel cable-net recovery system fundamentally different from SpaceX's propulsive landing approach. China successfully demonstrated controlled first-stage sea landing on February 11, 2026.
+
+## Timeline
+
+- **2026-02-11** — First successful controlled sea landing of Long March 10 first stage in predetermined recovery area. Simultaneous test of Mengzhou crew vehicle max-Q abort system.
+- **2026-02-05** (approx) — Recovery ship "Ling Hang Zhe" (25,000 tons, 472 feet) observed leaving shipyard with cable and net recovery gantry installed for sea trials.
+- **2026-04-05** — Scheduled first test flight of LM-10B reusable variant from Wenchang Space Launch Site (NET).
+
+## Relationship to KB
+
+- [[China is the only credible peer competitor in space with comprehensive capabilities and state-directed acceleration closing the reusability gap in 5-8 years]] — LM-10 timeline challenges the "5-8 years" prediction
+- [[reusability without rapid turnaround and minimal refurbishment does not reduce launch costs as the Space Shuttle proved over 30 years]] — LM-10's cable-net recovery approach has unknown refurbishment implications
+- [[launch cost reduction is the keystone variable that unlocks every downstream space industry at specific price thresholds]] — China's reusability affects global launch market competitive dynamics

One enrichment to existing China space competitor claim with updated timeline evidence. One new entity created for Long March 10 program. Source flagged state-directed acceleration as faster than market-based predictions — governance/coordination implications noted for Leo review."

 PRIMARY CONNECTION: [[China is the only credible peer competitor in space with comprehensive capabilities and state-directed acceleration closing the reusability gap in 5-8 years]]
 WHY ARCHIVED: Directly challenges the "5-8 year" timeline — China achieved first stage recovery in early 2026, with reusable variant launching April 2026
 EXTRACTION HINT: The claim needs timeline revision. Also extract the cable-net recovery approach as evidence of independent innovation trajectory.
