To resolve this problem, the Gravity-1 GNC system used cross product guidance in the core 2nd stage, and a nonlinear adaptive guidance algorithm in core 3rd stage, in order to achieve high orbit injection precision. On January 11, 2024, the Gravity-1 launch vehicle successfully carried out its maiden flight from a mobile sea platform off the coast of Haiyang in Shandong province, inserting its payload into a low earth orbit at an altitude of 500 kilometers, validating the guidance algorithm.展开更多
