According to official news from the China Manned Space Office, on February 11, 2026, Beijing time, during the low-altitude demonstration of the Long March 10 launch vehicle system and the maximum dynamic pressure escape flight test of the Mengzhou manned spacecraft system, the Mengzhou manned spacecraft successfully implemented maximum dynamic pressure escape and splashed down safely at sea.
At 12:20, the maritime search and rescue team successfully completed the search and recovery mission of the return capsule.
This is the first time that my country has carried out a manned spacecraft search and recovery mission at sea, and has accumulated important experience for subsequent space station application and development missions and manned lunar landing missions.
The Mengzhou manned spacecraft participating in the trial is mainly used for my country's manned lunar exploration missions and also takes into account the operation of near-Earth space stations. The spacecraft's return capsule has the ability to be reused multiple times. Before 2030, the Chinese will land on the moon!
