Evidence

independently corroborable, distinct from claims

1 · [milestone] RLV-TD Hypersonic Flight Experiment (HEX-01): Achieved Mach 5 re-entry from 65 km altitude, validated aerodynamic design and thermal protection with 600 heat-resistant tiles
2 · [milestone] RLV-TD Landing Experiments (LEX-01, LEX-02, LEX-03): Three successful autonomous landings from helicopter drop at 4.5 km altitude demonstrating autonomous guidance, precision landing, and thermal protection reusability
3 · [milestone] Orbital Re-entry Vehicle (ORV) announced March 27, 2025: Larger winged-body vehicle (1.6× RLV-TD size) for full orbital insertion, re-entry, and landing tests within next two years
4 · [demo] RLV-TD design: double-delta wings, fuselage, twin vertical tails, elevons/rudder control surfaces; 1.75-tonne scaled prototype using special alloys, composites, insulation materials
