USERS became the first national project to succeed in recovery from orbit. In this paper, USERS mission outline is introduced first. Followed by are discussion on the key characteristics of Reentry Module (REM), result of design and development, evaluation of re-entry and recovery operation and flight data. Finally, the obtained reentry system technologies through this project are summarized.
