The Long March 10B is a reusable launch vehicle based on the 1st stage of the Long March 10A, in turn derived from a single 1st stage core of the Long March 10, with 7 YF-100 series kerosene/liquid oxygen staged-combustion cycle engines on the 1st stage. Like the Long March 10A, the 10B’s 1st stage is designed to be recovered downrange by a recovery barge equipped with an arrestor net and support frame, with the 1st stage landing on the net’s cables using its grid fins. The 2nd stage, however, uses a single YF-219 gas generator cycle methane/liquid oxygen engine with 140 tonnes of thrust.
