中科宇航Zhongke Aerospace located in Room 1201, 12th Floor, Building 6, No. 18, Kechuang 13th Street, Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone, Beijing- China – People’s Republic of China….  is the first domestic mixed-ownership commercial aerospace enterprise jointly initiated and established by the core team of the Aerospace Flight Technology Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Mechanics. Achievement transformation, providing aerospace launch services. The core team is a leading expert in the domestic aerospace field, with strong technical strength, rich experience in rocket engineering development, and familiarity with the domestic commercial rocket market. Its first-type rocket carrying capacity is second to none in the domestic solid carrier rocket. At present, the first-stage engine of the first-type rocket has passed the ground interview vehicle. It is expected that the first flight will succeed with high certainty. In addition, Zhongke Aerospace has deployed a series of models such as solid-liquid hybrid and liquid rockets. In the future, it will form an echelon launch capability that can meet various needs such as constellation networking, patching, and space station delivery.

Recently on 13^th November 2021 The suborbital space travel vehicle of Zhongke Aerospace based in Guangzhou City – China- People’s Republic of China  The “Lijian-1” launch vehicle completed the joint arrow-to-ground training, and first flight next March] This morning, China Aerospace Science and Technology Aerospace “Lee Arrow One” successfully completed the arrow-to-ground joint training test ground at the Haiyang Oriental Space Port Marine Launch Technical Service Port The launch support system test. The joint rocket-ground training test simulates the entire process of rocket loading from the assembly plant, transfer and transportation, docking at the launch site, and erection. Through joint training to verify the equipment loading, transfer, docking, erection and other functions of the entire erection transfer system.

The “Lijian-1” carrier rocket launch vehicle is the first four-stage solid launch vehicle developed by Zhongke Aerospace, and it is currently the largest solid launch vehicle in the country with the largest take-off magnitude. It has the characteristics of flexible and rapid launch methods, and is mainly used for single-satellite and multi-satellite combined launches of small and medium-sized spacecraft in sun-synchronous orbits and other low-Earth orbits.

“Zhongke Aerospace Chairman Yang Yiqiang said in an interview with reporters that the main launch equipment of the Lijian-1 Carrier rocket started in Haiyang on August 6 last year, and has completed 14 core technology researches for the first time in China, and completed the program demonstration. , Program design and engineering research and development work, the first launch mission of “One Carrier Rocket and Six Satellites” will be implemented in March 2022.

On the morning of the 13th November 2021, at the sea launch technical service port of Haiyang Oriental Space Port, with the command staff’s command, the “Lijian-1” Carrier Rocket ground joint training test ground launch support system successfully completed the test. The joint training test is to simulate the entire process of rocket loading from the assembly plant, transfer and transportation, docking at the launch site, and erection. Through joint training to verify the equipment loading, transfer, docking, erection and other functions of the entire erection transfer system.

According to Sun Siwen, deputy director of the Yantai Promoting Aerospace Industry Development Headquarters Office, the “Lijian-1” Carrier Rocket  launch vehicle is the first four-stage solid launch vehicle developed by Zhongke Aerospace, and it is currently the largest solid launch vehicle in the country. It has the characteristics of flexible and fast launch methods, and is mainly used for single-satellite and multi-satellite combined launches of small and medium-sized spacecraft in sun-synchronous orbits and other low-Earth orbits.

“The Lijian-1 rocket is a major deployment project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is of great strategic significance for leading the development of my country’s carrier rocket technology and model changes, and catching up with the world’s aerospace powers.” Zhongke Aerospace Chairman Yang Yiqiang said in an interview. The main launch equipment of the Lijian-1 rocket started in Haiyang on August 6 last year. It has successively completed 14 core technology researches that have been adopted for the first time in China, and completed the program demonstration, program design and engineering development work, which is about to be in March 2022. Implementation of the first launch mission of “One Arrow and Six Stars”.

Beijing Zhongke Aerospace Exploration Technology Co., Ltd. is the first domestic aerospace enterprise with mixed ownership, and it is also the target enterprise that Oriental Aerospace Port focuses on introducing. Relying on the scientific research strength and resource advantages of the Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Aerospace Flight Technology Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Aerospace Science and Technology has been committed to the research and development and integration of space technology and aerospace vehicles as a platform for the transformation of major national scientific research projects, as well as the transformation and provision of technological achievements. Aerospace launch service. The Lijian-1 rocket project also adds a brand-new name card to the Oriental Space Port, which will surely promote the construction of the Oriental Space Port to take a solid step forward.
