Another test flight, to 1 km, May 2022

[edit]

Deep Blue Aerospace yesterday conducted a one kilometre level launch and landing VTVL test with its Nebula-M test article, as part of development of the Nebula-1 reusable orbital launcher, link to source article here The era of commercial rocket 2.0 is coming | Deep Blue Aerospace "Nebula-M" test rocket has completed a vertical recovery flight test of kilometer-level VTVL Deep Blue Aerospace, Jiangsu Deep Blue Aerospace Co., Ltd. 2022-05-07 (source is in Chinese).

For what it’s worth, the landing shown in the tweeted video appears to have been manipulated. It abruptly changes frame rate, seeming to show a slower descent than real. The fact that the video cuts off at the apparent instant of ground contact (and before the dust cloud clears) suggests it might have had a harder landing than desired. Similar to SpaceX’s SN8, perhaps. Tarl N. (discuss) 22:28, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
