On CNSA –China National Space Administration    …. ChangZheng  Long March 12 first flight rocket …. At  Hainan Commercial Space Launch Center. Wenchang, Hainan Province, China, People’s Republic of China At 7:00 am Beijing time on 26 November 2024.. This morning, the Long March 12 Y1 carrier rocket was successfully transferred from the technical area to the launch area at the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Center. It will be launched in the near future. The first flight is a must . The Long March 12 is a new generation of medium-sized carrier rocket in China and also the first 3.8-meter-diameter single-core liquid carrier rocket in China.

China’s most powerful single-core rocket for low-orbit transport…

The Long March 12 (LM-12/CZ-12) is a new generation of carrier rocket developed by the Eighth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. It is a medium-sized cryogenic liquid carrier rocket with a two-stage tandem configuration. The first and second stages are all powered by liquid oxygen-kerosene engines. The rocket was originally the Eighth Academy’s bid for a new generation of manned carrier rockets, and was later renamed XLV20. The original 5CBC configuration (5 cores in parallel for the takeoff stage) was changed to a single core stage configuration.

The first stage of the Long March 12 is equipped with four YF-100K liquid oxygen/kerosene engines, using an oxygen-rich staged combustion cycle, using pump-back swing, supporting bidirectional swing of ±8 degrees, and a thrust adjustment range of 65%~105%. The sea level thrust of a single engine is about 128 tons (1250 kN), and the sea level specific impulse is 301.84 seconds. The second stage is equipped with two YF-115 liquid oxygen/kerosene engines, using an oxygen-rich staged combustion cycle, supporting bidirectional swing of ±4 degrees, a thrust adjustment range of 80%~100%, a vacuum thrust of about 18 tons (180 kN), and a vacuum specific impulse of about 342 seconds.

The Long March 12 rocket is 59 meters high, with a first and second stage diameter of 3.8 meters. It can be equipped with optional fairings with diameters of 4.2 meters and 5.2 meters. It has a takeoff mass of 433 tons and a maximum takeoff thrust of about 510 tons (5,000 kilonewtons). The rocket has a carrying capacity of no less than 10 tons in a low-Earth orbit (LEO) at an altitude of 300 kilometers and a carrying capacity of no less than 6 tons in a sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) at an altitude of 700 kilometers.

The Long March XII rocket is the first 3.8-meter-diameter model of the Long March rocket. It will also become China’s single-core-stage carrier rocket with the largest takeoff mass and the strongest low-orbit carrying capacity in service.

The first flight of the YF-100K engine!

On April 28, 2024, the YF-100K liquid oxygen-kerosene engine developed by the Sixth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation completed a four-engine parallel ignition test. The total thrust of the engine exceeded 500 tons. This was the first large-thrust liquid oxygen-kerosene engine four-engine parallel ignition test, and the four-engine parallel scheme was fully verified.

The YF-100K was born with the proposal of China’s manned lunar landing plan and the need to demonstrate the new generation of manned carrier rockets. It is based on the improvement and optimization of the YF-100. This engine is the main power of China’s new generation of manned carrier rocket “Long March 10”. It adopts pump back swing. Compared with the YF-100 in use, it has the advantages of small mass eccentricity, small swing envelope, and easy layout of swing components.

The maiden flight of the Long March 12 rocket is also the maiden flight of the YF-100K engine, which will test its performance in actual launches and accumulate flight samples for the main power of the Long March 10 takeoff stage. At the same time, the YF-100K will pave the way for the improvement and upgrading of the new generation of carrier rockets currently in service, such as the Long March 5, whose four boosters are equipped with a total of 8 YF-100 engines. By replacing them with the YF-100K engines with better performance, the rocket will further release its already powerful carrying capacity.

China’s Hainan commercial space launch site launches first rocket

It is expected that in August 2024, the Long March 12 (Yao-1) carrier rocket will carry out its maiden flight at the No. 2 station of the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Center in China, and China’s new generation of carrier rockets will welcome a new member. At the same time, this is also the first rocket launch of the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Center, which means that China’s first commercial space launch center has officially been put into use.

王貞儀  WangZhenyi……. 金陈 Dance Tribute to the Female Scientists of the Qing Dynasty 200 Years Ago ….  In the thousands of years of space exploration history of the Chinese nation, there is a female scientist, Wang Zhenyi, who left a mark. They have never met before, but they share the same belief and mission. When we travel through the long river of time and space and look at Wang Zhenyi from a distance two hundred years ago, we will find that she is like the “Wang Zhenyi Star” in the universe, always shining brightly…….. she is story played by金晨 JinChen International Mainland China film and television actress…..  

王貞儀 Wang Zhenyi was a Chinese scientist from the Qing dynasty. She breached the feudal customs of the time, which hindered women’s rights, by working to educate herself in subjects such as astronomy, mathematics, geography, and medicine. She was well known for her contributions in astronomy, mathematics, and poetry. Shangyuan County, Jiangning Prefecture – now Nanjing Born: 1768 Died: 1797 Parents: Wang Xichen Partner: Zhan Mei

Wang Zhenyi lived with her grandfather during her childhood. From the age of 9, her grandfather taught her to write poems and compositions. She was very sensitive to the world and human conditions, and had unique thinking and understanding of social reality. After the death of Wang Zhefu, Wang Zhenyi, her grandmother Dong, her father and others went to the funeral . They lived in Jilin for 4 years and studied under Mrs. Bu Qianyao. Wang Zhenyi was not willing to be bound by the feudal concept of male superiority and female inferiority . She believed that men and women had the same mind and knowledge was not necessarily reserved for men. Women should also have the right to seek knowledge. She opposed the concept that women could only engage in eating, drinking and sewing

. Wang Zhenyi learned riding and shooting from General Mongolia’s wife , and developed the superb skill of “hitting the target”. In the forty-ninth year of Qianlong’s reign (1784), he accompanied his father and others to escort his grandfather’s coffin back to Jiangning, and then traveled around with his grandmother, father, uncle and others. In the fifty-first year of Qianlong’s reign (1786), he returned to Tianchang’s old residence with his grandmother. Wang Zhenyi married Zhan Mei when she was 25 years old. After marriage, Wang Zhenyi did not stop studying. In the second year of Jiaqing (1797), Wang Zhenyi passed away at the age of 29. 

Wang Zhenyi’s poems are simple and unpretentious, and express her feelings directly. Many of her poems reflect social reality. [6]  His representative works include “Illustrated Astrology”, “Calendar Briefs” and ” The First Collection of De Feng Pavilion “. Wang Zhenyi not only extensively dabbled in classics and epics, but also went deep into astronomy, geography, mathematics, medicine and other scientific fields that were not taken seriously at the time.  Wang Zhenyi was one of the great scholars in Chinese history. She solved many problems related to planets. He was regarded as one of the great wise men of the Qing Dynasty and is remembered by the world. Wang Zhenyi’s works influenced many scientists, mathematicians and writers in later generations.

Scientific work

Wang Zhenyi did a lot of scientific work in her short life of 29 years old. She is proficient in geography, mathematics, medicine, poetry and painting, and also understands meteorology. “What she says about sunny weather and rainy weather is not always experienced”, and her articles are “all based on facts and reasoning, and they are not inspired by others.”

Maths

It can be seen from her remaining writings that she was a female mathematician engaged in astronomical and computational research.

Calculator , also known as plan, plan, plan, etc., sometimes also called operator, is a rod-shaped calculation tool. They are usually a batch of small sticks of the same length and thickness made of bamboo or wood. They can also be made of metal, jade, bone and other materials . They are placed in a special arithmetic bag or tube when not in use. Arrange on board, felt or directly on the table. The method of calculation using “suanchi” is called ” suanchi “, and when it was introduced to Japan, it was called “arithmetic”. Calculation originated very early in China. There is a statement in ” Laozi ” that “those who are good at counting do not need to plan.” The earliest record seen is ” Sun Zi Suan Jing “. By the Ming Dynasty, calculation was gradually replaced by abacus.

In the early 17th century, the British mathematician Napier invented a calculation method, which was introduced to my country in the late Ming Dynasty and was also called “calculation”. Famous mathematicians Mei Wending , Dai Zhen and others in the Qing Dynasty once studied it. Dai Zhen called it “strategy.”

Wang Zhenyi was also engaged in researching this kind of technology introduced to our country from the West, and wrote three volumes of books to introduce Western technology to the Chinese people. She provides additional explanations of Western planning in her books, making them simple and clear. The Napier arithmetic method of multiplication and division introduced by Wang Zhenyi was considered easy to understand by readers at the time, but compared with the multiplication and division calculation methods in my country at that time, it seemed more complicated. Therefore, mathematicians did not use Western arithmetic and have always used Chinese arithmetic. Many readers regard Chinese and foreign calculations for multiplication and division as antiques, using the four arithmetic operations of written arithmetic introduced from foreign countries. This kind of written arithmetic only began to be used in 1903, so the history of using written arithmetic in China to integrate with the world is only 100 years old.

Summary:

Taikonaut Zhao gave us an overview of Hong Kong’s and GBA’s possible role in complementing China’s Space programme over the next few years. He built on the theme of “why not?” and suggested this is the perfect time to jump in. NewSpace is becoming a new industry for mankind. NewSpace is broad and all-encompassing, and that’s why we all need to think bigger and wider. NewSpace requires new tech, new talent, new policies, and new insights. The satellite applications market is the largest and this segment requires more capacity building. NewSpace should be more inclusive and for a more diversified humanity. We shouldn’t leave anyone behind. Hong Kong’s locational role is unique, and can help China become more international, more connected, and more innovative with proper and timely funding. Conversely, the NewSpace will also help power Hong Kong’s economy and make it much more diversified. There are five steps for Hong Kong to consider. Breakthrough the old stereotypes and barriers. Bring in talent. Enhance the rule of international space law. Attract more capital. Promote and connect startups in China to IPO. Hong Kong needs lots more talent. Need to develop many more and create a stronger pool of talent.
