Nayuta Space Secures Tens of Millions for Xuanniao-1 Reusable Launcher with Belly-First Reentry and Chopstick Catches

Chinese launch startup Nayuta Space has secured tens of millions of yuan in pre-A round funding for its Xuanniao-1 reusable launcher, also known as 'black bird-1.' The company plans to implement a belly-first reentry and utilize chopstick catches for recovery. In related developments, upgrades to the chopstick controls have been made, allowing them to start wider and move earlier for catch, which expands the envelope for booster landing burn trajectories. Additionally, a static fire test of the Super Heavy booster has been conducted, showcasing advancements in launch technology.
