Hyperbola-3 sea-recovery navigation system passes drone flight simulation
66 FOMOThe company used an unmanned aircraft carrying rocket navigation equipment alongside the recovery ship to simulate the final stages of booster recovery. The test assessed relative positioning, communications and coordinated operation between the airborne and shipboard systems. The company reported that the navigation system completed its ground verification and was ready to participate in flight testing.
Why it matters
Precise ship-relative navigation is essential for recovering a booster onto a moving platform. The successful test provides important evidence for the integrated recovery architecture.
