Russian private company Space Energy is developing documentation for the Galaktika medium-class rocket, which will be equipped with a reusable first stage, the company's chief designer, Georgy Emelin, told Sputnik.
"Work is currently underway on the design documentation for the Galaktika medium-class launch vehicle, which, similar to the foreign Falcon 9 launch vehicle, will have a reusable first stage," Emelin said.
He clarified that the company planned to publish renderings and the main technical specifications of the rocket this year.
Elon Musk's SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is the most widely used reusable launch vehicle today. US company Blue Origin also managed to recover its first stage. Several Chinese companies have also successfully tested first-stage rocket landing technology.
Russia is developing the reusable methane-fueled rocket Amur-LNG. Development is expected to be completed by 2028, with the first launch possible after 2030.
