STORYLINE:
Chinese company CAS Space, also known as Zhongke Aerospace, has successfully conducted vertical recovery tests of a launch vehicle in Haiyang, east China's Shandong Province.
The test flight simulated and verified rocket launch from land and its landing at sea, focusing on its landing process and the communication and relative measurement technologies impacted by sea clutter.
The launch vehicle reached a maximum flight altitude of over 1,000 meters, where it hovered for a while before adjusting its position and descending. Thanks to the engine's reverse thrust, its speed was reduced below 2m/s when approaching the landing platform at sea, before a soft landing ensured by the buffer legs. The whole flight took about 10 minutes before the vehicle landed wit
