Zhuque-3 Static Fire Test Completed; LandSpace’s STAR Market IPO Review Resumes

On June 29, LandSpace Technology Corporation achieved two major milestones. The company’s Zhuque-3 reusable Yao-2 launch vehicle successfully completed a static fire test at the Dongfeng Commercial Aerospace Innovation Experimental Zone, with all systems operating normally, indicating the rocket meets launch requirements. The Zhuque-3 is a new-generation low-cost, high-capacity, high-frequency, reusable liquid oxygen-methane launch vehicle independently developed by LandSpace for large constellation deployment. It is designed for at least 20 reuses, with a low Earth orbit payload capacity of no less than 18 tons under recovery conditions. On the same day, the Shanghai Stock Exchange website showed that LandSpace’s STAR Market IPO has updated its financial reports and resumed review—its IPO was accepted on December 31, 2025, but was suspended on March 31, 2026, due to expired financial reports. The static fire test is an essential step before launch, and its successful completion means the Zhuque-3 Yao-2 rocket is now in the final countdown to liftoff.

Valland Validates Feasibility of Converting Automotive Aluminum Scrap into LPBF Powder, Reducing Carbon Footprint by 73%

Italian additive manufacturing company Valland, as part of the ToZero project, has successfully converted aluminum alloy scrap from automotive body-in-white production into feedstock powder for laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) metal 3D printing. The project, funded under Italy's 'Innovation Agreement' program, brings together Valland, the Polytechnic University of Turin, the Polytechnic University of Bari, and the Fontana Group. Valland developed LPBF process parameters for recycled AA5083 aluminum alloy powder and printed a structural validation part, 'Voletto'—a car body structure connecting node. The recycled alloy exhibited no hot cracking during printing, and its mechanical properties and ductility met predefined targets; topology optimization reduced the part's mass from 1.68 kg to 0.8 kg. A life cycle analysis conducted in accordance with ISO 14040/44 standards showed that process optimization led to approximately a 73% reduction in carbon footprint. The project also identified key bottlenecks: the printing speed of recycled AA5083 remains significantly slower than that of commercial AlSi10Mg, and the trade-off between material quality and production efficiency is a core challenge that must be addressed before industrialization.

University of South China Develops Grain Boundary Segregation-Based CoCrNi Composite for Crack-Free, High-Strength LPBF Printing

A research team from the University of South China, in collaboration with the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research in Germany and the Harbin Institute of Technology, has developed a high-performance CoCrNi-based composite designed for additive manufacturing through grain boundary segregation. Using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and incorporating micron-sized TiC particles, the team successfully produced crack-free, high-strength CoCrNi medium-entropy alloys. Mechanistic studies revealed that TiC addition promotes carbon segregation to grain boundaries, significantly reducing grain boundary energy and effectively suppressing thermal cracking. Additionally, partial dissolution of TiC during PBF-LB formed nanoscale Cr23C6 precipitates and TiC/TiO₂ core-shell structures, refining the grains. The CoCrNi-3 wt% TiC composite exhibited excellent mechanical properties and high-temperature oxidation resistance, with the fine-grained structure promoting the formation of a dense Cr₂O₃ protective film. This research provides a new theoretical framework for designing high-performance alloys for additive manufacturing.
