Concept自杀式着陆 / 悬停 slam
Hoverslam
A landing method used in vertical rocket recovery. Because the thrust-to-weight ratio exceeds 1, the vehicle cannot hover, so velocity must be reduced precisely to zero at the moment of touchdown, placing extremely high demands on ignition timing and attitude-control precision.

Hoverslam landing requires the rocket engine's thrust to exceed gravity (thrust-to-weight ratio greater than 1), so the rocket cannot hover and must reduce its velocity precisely to zero at the instant of touchdown.
