On the 22nd June 2024 schedule to launch CNSA _China National Space Administration -China – People’s Republic of China 1500 Hours Hong Kong –Beijing Time China- People’s Republic of China…. at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, Sichuan Province.
The Sino-French SVOM mission (Space-based Multi-band Astronomical Variable Object Monitor) is scheduled to be launched at 15:00 on June 22 at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center using a Long March 2C carrier rocket. The satellite’s target operating orbit is a low-Earth orbit with an inclination of 30 degrees and an altitude of 625 kilometers. The total weight of the satellite is 930 kg, and the payload weighs 450 kg.
The mission includes 4 main instruments, 2 of which are French (ECLAIR and MXT) and 2 are Chinese (GRM and VT): – The ECLAIR telescope is used to detect and locate gamma-ray bursts in X-rays and low-energy gamma rays (from 4 to 250 keV). – The MXT telescope (Microchannel X-ray Telescope) is used to observe gamma-ray bursts in high energy – The VT telescope (Visible Light Telescope) operates in the visible light region and is used to detect and observe visible light emissions immediately after gamma-ray bursts. The total weight of the satellite is 930 kg, and the payload is 450 kg. It will be placed in a low Earth orbit with an inclination of 30 degrees, an altitude of 625 km and an orbital period of 96 minutes.
Observations in space will be complemented by a large ground segment, which includes: – A wide field camera GWAC (Ground-based Wide Angle Camera) for studies from the ground in the visible light region, detecting the prompt emission of part of the burst – A GFT (Ground Tracking Telescope) robotic telescope to precisely measure the coordinates of the gamma-ray burst.
At 17:27 on May 3rd Friday 2024 Beijing time CNSA –China National Space Administration, the Chang’e-6 probe was successfully launched by the Long March 5 Yao-8 carrier rocket from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan Province, China, People’s Republic of China., and accurately entered the Earth-moon transfer orbit. The launch mission was a complete success. The Chang’e-6 probe has embarked on the world’s first return journey for sampling from the far side of the moon. The pre-selected landing and sampling area is the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon.
[ Chang’e 6 completes sampling and ascender takes off from the far side of the moon and enters the scheduled lunar orbit]
According to the National Space Administration, at 4th June 2024 7:38 Beijing time today, the Chang’e 6 ascender carrying lunar samples took off from the far side of the moon. After the 3000N engine worked for about 6 minutes, it successfully sent the ascender into the scheduled lunar orbit. From
June 2 to 3, Chang’e 6 successfully completed intelligent and rapid sampling in the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon, and packaged the precious lunar far side samples in the storage device carried by the ascender in a predetermined form. During the sampling and packaging process, researchers simulated the geographical model of the sampling area and simulated sampling in the ground laboratory based on the probe data transmitted back by the Queqiao-2 relay satellite, providing important support for sampling decisions and operations in various links.
The Chang’e-6 lunar flag display system was jointly developed by China Aerospace Sanjiang Group and Wuhan Textile University and other units. In response to the extreme environmental requirements of high and low temperature alternation, high vacuum and strong ultraviolet radiation in this mission, the lunar flag team of Academician Xu Weilin of the State Key Laboratory of New Textile Materials and Advanced Processing Technology of Wuhan Textile University..
selected basalt materials. Basalt fiber is a new type of inorganic environmentally friendly green high-performance fiber material. It is composed of oxides such as silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, iron oxide and titanium dioxide. China has listed basalt fiber as one of the four major fibers (carbon fiber, aramid, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, basalt fiber) for key development, and has achieved industrial production. Using natural basalt formed by volcanic eruptions as raw materials, it is crushed and put into a melting furnace, heated to a molten state of 1450~1500℃, and quickly drawn through a platinum-rhodium alloy drawing plate. This is how basalt fiber is made. When basalt fiber is manufactured, it has excellent high temperature resistance and thermal shock stability, and can remain unchanged at a temperature of 650°C. It also has durability, weather resistance, UV resistance, water resistance, and oxidation resistance comparable to natural basalt stone. 嫦娥六号…..
[天龙三号Tianlong 3 plans to complete the first flight of the rocket in the first half of 2024] Recently, Tianbing Technology announced the completion of several hundred million yuan in C+ round financing, which will be used for the mass production of the Tianlong 2 medium-sized liquid rocket that successfully made its first flight, as well as the Tianlong 3 The development and first flight of large-scale liquid launch vehicles and engines, the research and testing of recyclable and reusable technology, the construction of Tianlong-3 dedicated launch stations, the construction of batch production capabilities and the improvement of talent teams.
The Tianlong-3 large liquid launch vehicle is tailor-made for the construction of my country’s satellite Internet infrastructure. Its product performance is benchmarked against the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. It has a diameter of 3.8m, a take-off mass of 590t, a LEO capacity of 17t, and an SSO capacity of 14t. It uses high thrust. , the reusable liquid rocket engine will be the first in China to achieve the capability of group shooting of more than 30 satellites in one rocket, meeting the “low-cost, high-reliability, and high-frequency” launch requirements of the satellite Internet. At present, the rocket has completed product design and production and is undergoing ground testing and verification. It is planned to complete the first flight of the rocket in the first half of 2024. Within three years after the first flight, it will have a commercial launch capability of more than 30 rounds per year..
On the 29th September 2023 the嫦娥六号; Change 6 Lunar Sample Return Mission onboard the Chang Zheng – Long March Five Carrier Rocket modified announcement by CNSA – China National Space Administration China Wenchang spaceport launch, Change lunar series Lunar probes… The National Space Administration announced today that the development of the lunar exploration project Chang’e-6 mission is currently underway as planned and is planned to be launched around 2024. At the same time, our country is accelerating the scientific project of the International Lunar Research Station, and hopes that more international partners will join in to jointly expand the boundaries of human cognition, contribute to the peaceful use of space, and promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.
嫦娥六号; Change 6 planned to be launched around 2024 Queqiao 2 is planned to be launched in the first half of 2024 The China National Space Administration reported on the 29th September 2023 that currently, the development work of the lunar exploration project Chang’e-6 mission is being carried out as planned, and the plan It will be launched around 2024.
According to arrangements, the Chang’e-6 mission will carry out sample returns from the far side of the moon. The 10 lunar sampling returns that humans have carried out so far are all located on the front side of the moon. The far side of the moon is generally older than the front side of the moon, and there is the Aitken Basin, one of the three major lunar terrestrial bodies, which has important scientific research value. The pre-selected landing area for the Chang’e-6 mission is located in the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon, with a view to discovering and collecting lunar samples from different regions and ages to enhance human understanding of the moon.
