On May 14, the 'Yixian-3'—a face-symmetric reusable rocket—developed by Professor Wu Zhigang's team from the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Sun Yat-sen University, successfully underwent a low-altitude flight test in Yangjiang City, Guangdong Province. Upon reaching the designated altitude, the rocket demonstrated hovering capabilities, executed precise maneuvering adjustments, and ultimately achieved a smooth and vertical landing within the target area. This rocket marks China's first face-symmetric recoverable liquid rocket primarily developed by a university. It boasts a takeoff mass of approximately 1 ton, stands 4.5 meters tall, and has a diameter of 0.6 meters. Its innovative face-symmetric design significantly enhances lift and attitude stability within the atmosphere, rendering it exceptionally well-suited for vertical takeoff and landing recovery operations.
