摘      要：Gravity-1 was the world s first carrier rocket to adopt the sea-based “three vertical testing launch mode. This article introduces the overall layout of the launch site and the workflow of rocket testing and launch for its maiden flight mission. The process of vertical assembly, vertical testing, vertical transportation, and sea-based hot launches are explained. Additionally, it provides an outlook on the improved “three vertical testing and launch mode for future missions, such as land-based launches, rapid launches, and remote sea launches.
