Hyperbola-3 first-stage landing structure passes impact qualification testing
76 FOMOThe company completed a series of landing-impact tests covering the first-stage structure and landing gear. Testing progressed through four-leg, two-leg and single-leg impact scenarios to reproduce extreme touchdown conditions. It evaluated structural stability, onboard equipment response and sea-recovery shutdown criteria. The company reported that measured dynamic responses met design requirements and closely matched simulation results.
Why it matters
Landing-leg qualification is essential to proving the reusability proposition. The test complements the later offshore recovery rehearsal and navigation demonstrations.
