China has successfully tested and landed a reusable rocket, signalling a significant step forward in their space ambitions. On 23rd June 2024, a liquid-fuelled launcher ascended to an altitude of 7.5 miles (12 km) from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. This achievement places China in closer competition with pioneers in reusable rockets like SpaceX, who have revolutionised the space industry with their reusable rocket technology.
We see the benefits of 3D printing all the time from manufacturing, medical, the fashion industry to prototyping and production. With construction in mind and large-scale 3d printers, it is now possible to think about bigger projects. There’s no doubt that that additive manufacturing is an ideal building solution for creating models in architecture.
With that in mind, 3D printing has made headlines once again. This time though, it’s not a 3D printed house in your neighbourhood unless you live on Mars. We take a closer look at how the 3D printed habitat challenge from NASA and their partners have developed. If you are remotely interested in aerospace design, engineering and space exploration, you should really watch these videos.
