On the 23th November 2023 in  CNSA _China National Space Administration -China – People’s Republic of China 1800  hours Hong Kong –Beijing Time China- People’s Republic of China launch the Chang Zheng – Long march 2D  Carrier Rocket launching from station form Xichang Satellite Launch Center Sichuan Province….. in which中国 successfully launched the At 18:00 on November 23, 2023, the “Long March 2D” Yao 59/”Yuanzheng 3″ Yao 2 upper stage carrier rocket carrying CX-20 and other satellite Internet technology test satellites was ignited and lifted off from the Xichang launch site , successfully sent the satellite directly into orbit.

In which Yuanzheng-3 returned to the world after 5 years and transformed into the Long March-2D third-stage rocket to directly send stars into orbit.

The satellite Internet technology test satellite CX-20 was developed by the Microsatellite Innovation Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Shanghai Microsatellite Engineering Center), and other satellites were developed by the Eighth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

“Long March 2D” is a medium-sized two-stage room-temperature liquid launch vehicle developed by the Eighth Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology. The primary and secondary main power uses dinitrogen tetroxide/uniform dimethylhydrazine propellant. The arrow is 41 meters long, with a diameter of 3.35 meters for both the first and second levels, a take-off mass of 250 tons, a take-off thrust of 302 tons, a low-Earth orbit (LEO) transport capacity of 4.0 tons, a 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) transport capacity of 1.5 tons, and 700 The SSO transport capacity per kilometer is 1.3 tons. This rocket uses an extended fairing with a diameter of 4 meters, which is the first time it is used at the Xichang launch site. The rocket launch site process was shortened from 43 days to 29 days. Since its successful first flight, the “Chang Erding” rocket has achieved 84 consecutive victories, continuing to set a record of consecutive victories for a single-type launch vehicle in my country. This year, the “Chang Er Ding” rocket has carried out 12 launch missions.

The upper stage of the “Yuanzheng-3” was developed by the Eighth Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology. It has independent orbital maneuverability and can fly in orbit for up to 48 hours. It is equipped with a squeeze engine with a thrust of 5,000 N and can fire more than 20 times. , can independently plan the optimal flight path based on the orbital state when separated from the rocket, and perform off-orbit multi-satellite deployment in medium and low orbits and constellation network repair deployment. At the same time, the “Yuanzheng-3” upper stage adopts a modular and standardized design, which can be adapted to be used with a variety of launch vehicles, which can greatly improve our country’s capabilities in rapid and flexible space access, space transfer and space utilization.

This mission is the first time that the “Yuanzheng-3” upper stage has made its first mission in five years since its successful first flight. It is also the first time it has performed a mission at the Xichang launch site. In order to further improve the carrying capacity, the “Yuanzheng-3” upper stage and the “Long March-2D” rocket of this mission have adopted a joint flight state for the first time, and the “Yuanzheng-3” has become the third stage of the three-stage rocket. The separation point of this secondary rocket is suborbital. Three seconds after separation, the “Yuanzheng-3” ignited into orbit, and then ignited again to reach the predetermined orbit. After sending the satellite into orbit, the “Yuanzheng-3” actively controlled deorbiting through two ignitions. .

This launch is the 12th launch of the “Long March 2D” rocket in 2023, the 13th launch of the Xichang Launch Site, the 54th launch of China, and the 189th launch of the world. At the same time, this launch is also the 498th launch of the “Long March” series of launch vehicles.

银河航天 Galaxy Space – is located  3rd Floor, Building B, Baosheng Plaza, No. 8 Heiquan Road, Haidian District, Beijing, China, People’s Republic of China…   Galaxy space- Aerospace is One of China, People’s Republic of China’s leading satellite Internet solution provider and satellite manufacturer, and the first unicorn company in my country’s commercial aerospace field. The company is committed to independent research and development and low-cost mass production of communication payloads, core single machines, and satellite platforms. It has built internationally leading supporting development capabilities for communication payloads, core single machines, and solar wings in Xi’an, Chengdu, and Beijing, and is also building in Nantong. The new generation of satellite intelligent manufacturing factories has achieved mass production capabilities of hundreds of satellites.

【”Space Carpet”! Galaxy Aerospace] According to Xu Ming, founder, chairman and CEO of  Galaxy Space , the new generation of communication satellites being developed by Galaxy Aerospace looks like a “space flying carpet”, with both The communication antenna also has a solar chip that can convert solar energy into satellite energy. It is a communication satellite that integrates a phased array antenna and a solar wing. The key technology is called “wing array integration”.

　　The antenna is the core part of the satellite communication system and a key factor in determining the quality of signal transmission. Using large antennas can increase the gain of signal reception and transmission, thereby improving communication quality. The “wing array integrated” satellite can have a large antenna area and a powerful energy system, which can make the satellite more powerful when transmitting signals. It will be used to support the broadband communication needs of future mobile phones directly connected to satellites.


　　At present, Galaxy Aerospace has completed key technical research on the two-dimensional deployment of the “Wing Array Integrated” satellite. Generally speaking, the satellite’s antenna or solar wing generally only expands in one direction (such as horizontally) when unfolded. The so-called two-dimensional expansion means that the satellite’s antenna and solar wing must be deployed in an orderly manner in both the horizontal and vertical directions. . In view of this configuration in which the size of the satellite platform and the phased array are reversed, the traditional satellite-arrow connection, compression and separation technology cannot be used. The technical team designed and completed an integrated release plan; for extremely large-area arrays, high deployment accuracy and deployment stiffness are required In order to meet the large requirements, the technical team has broken through technical challenges such as folding and compaction, two-dimensional orderly deployment in orbit, and slowing down the impact of deployment, and completed the development of key mechanisms suitable for the deployment of satellite giant antennas and solar wing integrated arrays, and will Continue to carry out research on key technologies such as wing array integrated efficient heat dissipation and distributed power supply.

Facing the future, Galaxy Aerospace will accelerate the research on key core technologies such as phased array antennas, on-board large energy sources, and digital processing loads, and work with the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to tackle key problems to help the development of my country’s aerospace information industry and the construction of a powerful aerospace nation.

深蓝航天  Deep Blue Limited – Deep Blue Aerospace One of sixty Chinese private space Carrier Rocket Companies in China-People’s Republic of China…  As many of sixty plus Private Rocket Deep Blue Aerospace Co., Ltd. was established in 2017. The company is mainly a high-tech aerospace enterprise that focuses on the direction of liquid recovery and reusable launch vehicles and provides users with commercial launch services. Deep Blue Aerospace Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province. At the same time, the company has rocket general and liquid engine R&D centers in Yizhuang, Beijing and Xi’an, Shaanxi, respectively, and a rocket power system test base in Tongchuan, Shaanxi…..

On the Month of October- November 2023  Zhang Changwu, founder/CEO of Blue Arrow Aerospace As a guest speaker, attend this conference event of Aerospace Information Industry International Ecosystem Event 2023 It has finally been officially announced that Blue Arrow has developed the reusable Carrier Rocket  stainless steel Suzaku 3 rocket….  

Many people did not notice the details on. Blue Arrow disclosed for the first time its Suzaku 3, which will succeed Suzaku 2 Carrier Rocket – Reusable Carrier Rocket. Launch vehicle.


Judging from the picture, the one-time launch to low-Earth orbit has a transport capacity of 20 tons, the recovery area is 16.5 tons (not necessarily at sea), and the return transport capacity is 11 tons. Two-stage design, stainless steel storage tank, the diameter should be more than 4 meters by comparison, and it is suspected that 7 engines (maybe 9) are stuffed inside. First stage with grille rudder with deployable landing legs.


The railway transportation limit made by the Shanghai Institute is 3.8 meters. If it is 4 meters higher, it is equivalent to killing the possibility of inland launch? Or is there another way? After all, Landspace Blue Arrow spent a lot of effort on the launch pad in Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, Inner Mongolia, China, and People’s Republic of China. , so it is unlikely that they will be abandoned. What do you think?


Blue Arrow originally wanted to go to IAC for a press conference, but it was later cancelled for some reason. This time in China, it was taken the opportunity to release. There is nothing unexpected about the overall design. Perhaps the only exception is the use of stainless steel. It is the first mainstream private aerospace company in China to officially announce the use of stainless steel.

General Manager Changwu of Blue Arrow shared that no matter what, I have always recognized Blue Arrow’s hard work and development in the field of China’s commercial space launch vehicles, and I am grateful for its efforts and contributions to the commercialization of China’s launch vehicles. I will always believe in it. , as long as you keep working hard like this, @LANDSPACE Blue Arrow Aerospace will be realized sooner or later.
