On December 15, 2025, Beijing Yushi Space Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. made a significant announcement: it had successfully carried out China's first-ever full-scale ground verification test for a 100-ton 'chopstick'-style capture arm. This achievement represents a pivotal milestone, as it signifies the formal handover of China's inaugural full-scale prototype of a capture arm, modeled on SpaceX's Starship recovery system, and its entry into the crucial ground joint testing phase.

Yushi Space has adopted an innovative approach, utilizing a 'stainless steel rocket + capture arm recovery' solution. The capture arm developed in this groundbreaking project boasts the remarkable capability to safely and effectively capture a 100-ton returning rocket stage, even in complex and challenging environments. This breakthrough lays a solid foundation for realizing the ambitious goal of rapid and comprehensive rocket reusability in the near future.
