Beijing, January 19 (Xinhua) — The test module of China's commercial manned spacecraft CYZ1 has successfully completed comprehensive verification tests of its landing shock absorption system, the spacecraft's developer, InterstellOr, announced on Sunday.
All targets were met, with key metrics exceeding expectations.
According to InterstellOr's official WeChat account, the test accurately simulated the actual landing of the spacecraft after its return. The 5-ton test capsule was raised to a height of more than three meters above the ground and, on command, instantly released, allowing it to freefall. This simulated the capsule's stable descent speed under the main parachute.
The landing cushion system was then immediately activated, and its retro-thrust released high-pressure gas to create a sustained reverse thrust.
By precisely interacting with the energy-absorbing structure at the bottom of the spacecraft, the landing damping system provided effective braking and damping over an extremely short landing stroke.
According to InterstellOr, post-test verification confirmed the smooth damping sequence, the integrity of the capsule structure, and the full functionality of the onboard equipment, demonstrating the high feasibility and reliability of the landing damping system.
InterstellOr researchers will conduct a comprehensive analysis of the test data to optimize system parameters, thereby laying a solid foundation for the subsequent development of the CYZ1 crewed spacecraft. -0-
