On the 3rd August 2023 early morning Thursday 1147 Hours Hong- Kong SAR – Beijing time CNSA –China National Space Administration , China, People’s Republic of China. Successfully launched the Fengyun-3 06 satellite with the Chang Zheng- Long March 4C Yao 44 carrier rocket at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center- Inner Mongolia, and the satellite entered the schedule smoothly. Track, the mission was a complete success. The satellite will replace the Fengyun-3C satellite that has been in orbit for an extended period of time. The detection data will be mainly used for weather forecasting, atmospheric chemistry and climate change monitoring operations and research….. Successfully sent Fengyun 3-06 into sun-synchronous orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.
The launch weight of FY-3 F is about 2,700 kg, and its operating altitude is 830 km. As a sun-synchronous morning orbit satellite, the satellite will replace FY-3 C, which has been in orbit for nearly 10 years. While ensuring the continuity of observation data from global numerical weather prediction satellites, the new generation of Fengyun-3 morning satellites has formed a network of observations with D (afternoon satellite), E (dawn satellite), and G (precipitation satellite) to form four low-earth orbit meteorological satellites in my country. Satellite business network observation “the strongest echelon”, as of now, my country has a total of 9 Fengyun meteorological satellites in orbit.
长征四号 This is the 100th launch of the Chang Zheng- Long March 4 Carrier Rocket series of launch vehicles. The Long March 4 series of launch vehicles has become the second type of launch vehicle in China with more than 100 launches!
The Long March 4 carrier rocket is one of the main carrier rockets in active service in my country, including three models, the Long March 4A (retired), the Long March 4B, and the Long March 4C. They were launched on September 7, 1988 and May 1999 respectively. The first flight was successful on 10th and April 27th, 2006. At present, Chang Sijia has carried out 2 launch missions, Changsi B has carried out 48 launch missions, and Changsi C has carried out 50 launch missions. This mission is the 191st launch of the Long March series of carrier rockets developed by the General Manager of the Eighth Academy, and the 481st launch of the Long March series of carrier rockets
The first flight, the hundred-flying situation. On September 7, 1988, the Long March 4 Jiayao-1 carrier rocket made its maiden flight and successfully sent my country’s first meteorological satellite, Fengyun-1, into the predetermined orbit, setting a record for a successful first flight of a large-scale carrier rocket in my country and making it my country has become the third country in the world that can independently launch sun-synchronous orbit and polar orbit satellites. According to statistics, the Long March 4 launch vehicle has carried out 4 Fengyun-1 and 7 Fengyun-3 missions, all of which have achieved complete success.
The Long March-4 carrier rocket continues to improve reliability, safety, and adaptability, and has realized that it has only undertaken the launch of polar-orbiting meteorological satellites at the beginning, and now it can perform multiple types of satellite launches such as earth observation, scientific experiments, and lunar relay communications; From one arrow and one satellite to one arrow and multiple satellites in series and parallel; from a specific time….
