China launched a rocket from the Hainan Commercial Spacecraft Launch Site in south China's Hainan Province on July 10 and completed the country's first controlled recovery of a carrier rocket's first stage.

On its maiden flight, the rocket successfully delivered its payload to the designated orbit. After the separation of the rocket's first and second stages, the first stage returned and was successfully captured on a seaborne platform via a net-capture system. Both the launch and the first-stage recovery were successfully completed.

China Media Group went behind the scenes to explore the unique technologies on board the Long March-10B carrier rocket and the "Navigator," China's first net-capture recovery vessel.
