SUSIE's vertical landing capabilities draw comparisons to SpaceX's Starship. Europe's not quite there yet, but it's a step in the right direction.
French aerospace giant ArianeGroup revealed a new concept for a reusable upper-stage spacecraft called Smart Upper Stage for Innovative Exploration, or SUSIE.
The fully reusable upper stage will be able to function as an automated cargo transporter, and it will also be able to carry up to five astronauts on crewed missions. It is still in the concept phase, but its unveiling comes only a short time after European officials admitted they made a poor choice not to opt for reusable rocket technology roughly a decade ago.
