On December 3, the Blue Rocket Suzake-3 Yao1 carrier rocket was launched at the Dongfeng Commercial Aerospace Innovation Test Zone. The mission was completed according to the procedures, and the rocket entered the scheduled orbit. Abnormal combustion occurred during the rocket's first sub-stage landing, and the vertical return recovery test failed. This launch is the first time that China has carried out orbital stage launch verification of a recyclable rocket. Rockets are extremely difficult to recycle. They require the perfect combination of software and hardware such as sensors, grid rudders, flight control algorithms, and variable thrust engines. Many problems can only be exposed during actual flight tests, and then solved through iterative technical improvements. Therefore, the setbacks encountered in this commercial space exploration should be viewed with a rational attitude. An atmosphere of tolerance for failure and a scientific and rational attitude will surely be transformed into a driving force for China's commercial space take-off. In the near future, we will definitely be able to see the success of China's commercial recyclable rocket tests. The human journey to explore the sea of stars will also be more exciting due to China's commercial space.
