Month: September 2025

On September 29th, the “Endless Exploration: China’s Space, Aviation, and Navigation” exhibition, co-organized by the Macao Special Administrative Region Government and the China National Space Administration, opened at the Macao Science Center. The exhibition aims to comprehensively showcase China’s latest achievements in space, aviation, and navigation. As a key stop on the “Twenty Years of Lunar Exploration Project Tour,” the exhibition highlights the remarkable achievements of the project over the past two decades and Macao’s contributions . It aims to inspire the public, especially young people, in scientific and technological innovation , and to further enhance Macao’s scientific and technological innovation capabilities.

The exhibition, centered around the concept of “science + popular science, achievements + culture, and visits + experiences,” will highlight key projects and the fruitful achievements achieved in my country’s aerospace, aviation, and shipbuilding sectors since the new era. Many exhibits will be on display in Macao for the first time. Highlights include lunar samples returned by Chang’e-5 and Chang’e-6, humanity’s first lunar samples from the far side, the Chang’e-6 return capsule and parachute, models of the “20 family” of aircraft, including the J-20, Y-20, and Z-20, and models of the shipbuilding industry’s “three crown jewels”: the Shandong aircraft carrier, the large cruise ship “Aida Modu,” and a large liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier. A special section dedicated to Macao showcases Macao’s achievements in aerospace and maritime fields, as well as its collaboration with mainland China.

In recent years, Macau has actively participated in space missions such as the development of the “Macau Science No. 1” satellite, was awarded the “National Key Laboratory of Lunar and Planetary Science” plaque, and held science popularization activities such as the “China Space Day Special Event” and the “Macau Beidou Space Competition” to stimulate young people’s enthusiasm for science and innovation.

During the exhibition, six experts, including Yin Zeyong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and an expert in aviation engines, and Zhang Yuhua, deputy commander of the Chang’e-6 mission probe system, will give a series of popular science lectures on their respective fields. The exhibition will run until October 12.

This exhibition was jointly curated by the National Space Administration’s Press and Publicity Center, the Lunar Exploration and Space Engineering Center, and the Education and Youth Development Bureau of the Macao Special Administrative Region Government, with support from the China Space Foundation. Representatives from the National Space Administration’s International Cooperation Department, Press and Publicity Office, and Lunar Exploration and Space Engineering Center; the Macao Special Administrative Region Government’s Secretariat for Social Affairs and Culture, the Education and Youth Development Bureau; the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Macao SAR; and the Macao Science Center attended the opening ceremony.

[Every Strike, Every Victory! Long March 2D Rocket Successfully Launches Test Satellites 01 and 02]

At 11:00 AM Beijing time on September 29, 2025, the Long March 2D carrier rocket ignited and took off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, subsequently placing Test Satellites 01 and 02 into their planned orbits. The launch mission was a complete success. This launch marked the 100th launch of the Long March 2D rocket, marking it the second single-type carrier rocket in China to surpass 100 launches.

Both the satellite and the rocket for this mission were developed by the Eighth Academy of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. The satellite is primarily used for testing and verifying Earth observation technology. To date, the Long March 2D rocket has successfully launched over 300 satellites into their planned orbits, covering a variety of satellite types, including remote sensing, mapping, and space science. Furthermore, the Long March 2D rocket has provided high-quality international launch services, establishing a positive image for China’s space industry in the international market.

Long March 2D Rocket : 100-Second Victory! Watch the Long March 2D rocket’s 100-Second Victory! The Long March 2D rocket is a room-temperature, two-stage liquid-fuel carrier rocket capable of launching single and multiple satellites to various orbital requirements. It has a payload capacity of 1.9 tons to a 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit. Since its successful maiden flight on August 9, 1992, the “gold medal rocket” Long March 2D has achieved 100-Second Victory, becoming China’s first low-Earth orbit and space orbit rocket with its high reliability, excellent performance, and superior safety ….

This launch marks the 598th launch of the Long March series of carrier rockets.

On the 16^th September 2025   Hours Hong- Kong SAR – Beijing time CNSA –China National Space Administration , China, People’s Republic of China At 0328 Hong Kong SAR- Beijing Time  Beijing time on September 27^TH , 2025, my country successfully  at Work Station 94 of the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, Inner Mongolia, China, People’s Republic of China., the Long March 4B Yao-45 carrier rocket successfully launched the Fengyun-3 08 satellite (H) with a large red screen and mission emblem… .

Both the satellite and rocket for this launch mission were developed by the Eighth Academy of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. Fengyun-3 H is an operational satellite under the National Civilian Space Infrastructure Medium- and Long-Term Development Plan. It is the 22nd Fengyun meteorological satellite successfully launched by China and the eighth satellite in the second-generation low-orbiting Fengyun-3 meteorological satellite family. It is primarily used for weather forecasting, atmospheric chemistry, and climate change monitoring.

Fengyun-3 H weighs approximately 2,780 kg at launch and orbits in a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 830 km and an inclination of 98.7°. The satellite is equipped with a medium-resolution spectral imager, an infrared hyperspectral atmospheric sounder, and a Nine remote sensing instruments, including a microwave thermometer, microwave hygrometer, microwave imager, global navigation satellite occultation sounder, hyperspectral greenhouse gas monitor, ionospheric photometer, and wide-angle auroral imager, will achieve the world’s first high-precision, detailed global greenhouse gas detection over a swath width of 100 kilometers, reaching internationally advanced levels of comprehensive capabilities.

Fengyun-3H, the final satellite of the Fengyun-3 Batch 03, will succeed Fengyun-3D and form a network with Fengyun-3E, F, and G to achieve 100% global observation data coverage, safeguarding core meteorological services. The satellite can shorten the update time for meteorological data required for numerical weather forecasting applications from six hours to four hours, extend forecast availability by approximately 24 hours, and nearly double the timeliness of disaster monitoring, significantly enhancing weather forecasting capabilities.

The Fengyun-3H satellite boasts high quantitative accuracy, with spectral calibration accuracy reaching the picometer level. Its comprehensive capabilities enable full-spectrum, quantitative observations from a single platform, covering a full range of atmospheric elements. In addition to providing comprehensive atmospheric remote sensing of temperature, humidity, wind, rain, and clouds, it also acquires remote sensing information on global greenhouse gases, auroras, and the ionosphere.
