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.
Zhongke Aerospace January 2023 ……..This year Zhongke Aerospace will launch 3 Lijian No. 1 中科空空航空’s Lijian No. 1 solid launch vehicle successfully made its first flight on July 27, 2022. The first flight carried 6 satellites with an uplink load of 1068.63kg. The weight of the satellite is 899kg. After three launches planned for 2023, the arrow will become a full-fledged model.
At present, the annual production capacity of Lijian-1 has reached 30 pieces. As the largest domestic and world-leading solid launch vehicle model, the biggest feature of Lijian-1 is the use of large solid rocket motors, especially 10 of which can be pre-stored at the exclusive launch station of the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The load can be quickly approached and combined quickly, fully meeting the needs of users for rapid launch.
Lijian-1 has a carrying capacity of 1.5 tons in 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit and 2 tons in low-orbit, which can meet the hot demand in the international launch service market, including low-orbit high-resolution remote sensing satellites, low-orbit broadband communication constellations, Internet of Things constellations and The launch of numerous scientific experiment payloads. The first flight of the Lijian-1 rocket sent six satellites into the predetermined orbit, and verified more than 40 new technologies from 25 institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is of great significance for promoting the progress of satellite technology.
In addition, through optimized design, Lijian-1 has achieved a load ratio close to 1%, reaching the world’s leading level, and effectively reducing the cost of entering orbit for users.
Zhongke Aerospace is developing a new generation of sea launch platform, which will form an annual launch capability of 20 times in the future. The sea launch can flexibly choose the best orbital position, shorten the delivery time to the greatest extent, and make full use of the rocket capacity
[Zhongke Aerospace Lijian-1A has been shortlisted as an alternative rocket for space station transportation, and it will develop a 10-ton reusable CBC rocket] In addition to the active Lijian-1, the product lineage of Zhongke Aerospace also includes Lijian-1 There are 6 types of products including A solid rocket, Lijian 2 liquid rocket, Lijian 3 series liquid rocket, space tourism vehicle and near space recyclable scientific experiment platform.
Its launch service planning has the following characteristics:
1) Strong carrying capacity, covering 1~15 tons;
2 (The service model is flexible, and can provide batch packaging, carpool launch, whole rocket launch and piggyback launch services;
3) The mission mode covers the entire range, with exclusive land-based and sea-based launch stations, which can be applied to multiple application scenarios such as low-orbit constellation networking, space station cargo transportation, high-orbit launch, near-space scientific experiments, and suborbital tourism;
4) High cost performance. Through a series of technological innovations and mass production, including recycling, intelligent launch and intelligent flight, etc., the launch cost has been greatly reduced, and the launch cost of a one-time launch vehicle is 60,000 yuan per kilogram, which can be reused later. The cost of liquid launch vehicles reached RMB 30,000 per kilogram, which is on par with world-class aerospace companies such as SpaceX.
On the basis of Lijian-1, Zhongke Aerospace is developing a general-purpose core-level bundled solid launch vehicle for Lijian-1. By bundling four cores and replacing them with a third stage with a larger diameter, the low-orbit The ability to launch large mass loads, with a carrying capacity of 5.6 tons in a 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit and 8 tons in a low-Earth orbit, ranks among the ranks of large rockets and can be used for large-scale satellite launches or cost-effective deployment of low-orbit constellations, and can also be used to launch space station cargo spacecraft . Shi Xiaoning revealed that the Lijian-1A solid launch vehicle has been shortlisted as an alternative launch vehicle for my country’s space station transportation.
At the same time, this type of rocket utilizes the mature power and avionics system technology of Lijian-1, and can further reduce the launch cost through integration and mass production of mature modules, and has better cost performance while achieving large carrying capacity.
Lijian-2 is the first liquid launch vehicle under development by Zhongke Aerospace. This model adopts the classic core stage diameter of Chinese rockets – 3.35 meters. Both stages are powered by 20-ton “Xuanyuan No. 1” liquid oxygen kerosene engines. It is a low-temperature small intelligent launch vehicle with a carrying capacity of 500 kilometers. Synchronous orbit 2.2 tons.
Lijian-2 will further improve rocket reliability and reduce user costs through integration and intelligence. This model adopts a large number of advanced rocket manufacturing and control technologies, including mature industrial materials, standard parts and 3D printing technology; it realizes a high level of comprehensive management of rocket information, and has intelligent launch and intelligence through autonomous fault identification and reconstruction on the rocket. Flight capability; the launch system and measurement and control system are integrated and miniaturized, and have the ability to launch with one button. These measures not only reduce the manufacturing cost of the rocket, but also effectively control the cost of rocket launch and flight control. Taking into account the 1.08% load factor, the cost of payload launch will be further reduced, approaching the international advanced level, and become an international and domestic rocket with high cost performance…… One of the medium launch vehicles.
The main rockets in the long-term planning of Zhongke Aerospace are the reusable liquid rockets Lijian-3 and Lijian-3 heavy.
The Lijian-3 carrier rocket has a three-stage series structure. Both the first and second stages use the “Xuanyuan II” 80-ton reusable liquid oxygen kerosene engine, which has the ability to recover and reuse the first stage, and has a 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit. With a carrying capacity of 6.1 tons (first-level recovery) and 7.8 tons (first-level non-recovery), it is a mainstream large launch vehicle in the international launch service market. Especially after being equipped with a high-performance upper stage, it can adapt to high-orbit launch missions and provide users with richer and more diverse orbit entry solutions.
On the basis of Lijian-3, the Lijian-3 heavy-duty rocket is bundled with two reusable core stages, all three core stages can be recycled and reused, and can realize a 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit with a carrying capacity of 10.5 tons (one-stage recycling ) and 13.8 tons (one-level non-recycling), realizing the vision of Zhongke Aerospace “sending 10 tons of payload into low-Earth orbit space in ten years”. This model can not only meet the launch and deployment requirements of large satellites and large-scale constellations, but can also be used to launch Earth-Moon orbiters. Similar rockets are scarce products in the international launch service market. Possibilities abound.
In addition, Zhongke Aerospace also plans to develop two suborbital vehicles, each of which is oriented to different market needs.
One is the recyclable scientific experiment platform in near space, which adopts the liquid rocket reusable technology, can send the scientific instrument module into the orbit at an altitude of 120-300 kilometers, and provide long-stay (150-450 seconds), high-level micro Gravity science experiment environment. The flight cost of this type of platform is much lower than that of the space station, but the flight opportunities are much more abundant. Opportunities for scientific experiments such as biology. This year, the basic model of the aircraft will be available and complete its first flight.
The utility model relates to an aircraft for space tourism, which adopts a combined mode of a single-stage rocket and a tourist capsule. In order to carry the tourist capsule across the Karman Line, the rocket is equipped with five 15-ton liquid oxygen kerosene engines with a carrying capacity of two tons. The actual number of passengers on the aircraft can reach up to 7 people. Passengers can cross the Karman Line at an altitude of 100km in a 10-minute flight, experience the weightlessness of getting rid of the gravity of the earth for 3 minutes, and overlook the earth and the stars through the portholes. In 2025, China is expected to start space travel, with a ticket price of 2 to 3 million yuan….

This is Ken and thank you for watching my Flight Review. Cathay Pacific, same as Singapore Airline, has always been a wide-body jet-only carrier for the past several decades. In 2020, when Cathay Dragon, Cathay Pacific’s subsidiary, got closed down because of the covid-19 pandemic, Cathay Pacific took up Cathay Dragon’s 16 Airbus 321neo orders and most of her routes.
In today’s flight review, we would be savoring the 2-hour air travel experience onboard Cathay Pacific’s first Airbus 321neo from Hong Kong to Bangkok in Business Class, unveiling the Hong Kong Flag carrier’s latest regional Business Class product.
1. You’ll be flying in a new, improved plane
The A321neos are the most modern aircraft in the Airbus A320 family. This narrow-body, two-class aircraft sets new standards in comfort and technology, making regional travel as good as it gets. Six new planes will be joining Cathay Pacific’s fleet this year – and there are another 10 in the pipeline. More space, enhanced comfort, extraordinary entertainment features and an eco-friendly design: the new A321neo offers the best short-haul experience in the world – and it’s also kinder to the environment. Here are 8 reasons why you’ll love your next flight.
2. They’re environmentally efficient
Our new A321neos are some of the most fuel-efficient aircraft in the sky, thanks to their CFM International LEAP-1A engines and their fuel-saving Sharklet wingtips (emblazoned, of course, with the iconic Cathay Pacific brushwing design). These features translate to a 22 per cent lower fuel burn per seat – or 5,000 tonnes less CO2 per year – as well as a 50 per cent reduction in noise for both passengers and at airports…
Improved efficiency
Thanks to their elegant winglets and advanced LEAP engines, ourAirbus A321neo aircraft are more efficient than ever, delivering a 22 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions per seat and a 55 per cent reduction in NOx emissions when compared to the previous A321.
They’re quieter too, creating almost 15 per cent less noise than existing aircraft. This means a more comfortable experience for you – and makes us a better neighbour, in the skies and on the ground.
3. You’ll fly in true comfort
Custom seats are designed to deliver the perfect short-haul experience. In Business, passengers can lounge in cutting-edge recliner seats, with new hard-shell designs and divider screens which offer maximum privacy. Meanwhile, Economy seats feature a generous recline, comfortable seat cushions and new adjustable headrests.
Stretch out at your leisure in the A321neo’s Business cabin. Our cocoon-like recliner seats feature divider screens for maximum privacy. Don our noise-cancelling headphones to browse our extensive media library on a 4K ultra-high-definition 15.6-inch screen.
In the Economy cabin, recline comfortably and enjoy our new adjustable headrests as you take in the latest blockbusters on our 11.6-inch 4K personal TV screen. Personal devices can be charged on easily accessible USB-A and USB-C points. We’ve also added an additional lavatory to the cabin to cut back on those pre-landing queues.
New LED lighting throughout the cabins sets the mood for a calm, laid-back flight.
World’s leading inflight entertainment
We are the first airline in the world to offer 4K ultra-high-definition inflight entertainment screens, featuring 4K on demand and Bluetooth audio streaming across all cabins in our Airbus A321neo. Use your own personal headphones, sit back and watch the latest Hollywood hits, binge full box sets and access the largest collection of Chinese films and subtitles in the skies.
With a refreshed library of games and high-speed Wi-Fi on board, you’ll stay entertained your whole flight.
Headphones pictured are for reference only; please bring your own Bluetooth device to enjoy our new pairing capability.
4. You’ll be able to watch 4K in the skies
Cathay Pacific is the first airline to bring 4K ultra-high-definition screens to every seat on the plane: a large 11.6 inches in Economy, and a mighty 15.6 inches in Business. But that would mean nothing without its vast entertainment library, which is one of the largest in the skies. This includes the largest collection of Chinese movies and subtitles on any airline, plus full box sets, documentaries, music, podcasts, guided meditations and more.
Phenomenal movies, TV and more
Cathay Pacific’s A321neos are the first aircraft to offer a 4K Ultra HD experience throughout the aircraft. ‘A 4K screen is amazing if you buy one for your home,’ says Tremblay-Simard. ‘But 4K on an aircraft means you are so close to the screen that you can’t help but really notice the difference.’
As for what’s on – ‘It’s one thing having the screen, but you have to have the content to go with it,’ says Simon Cuthbert, Cathay Pacific’s Customer Experience Manager – Entertainment, Platforms and Connectivity. ‘We offer one of the largest entertainment libraries in the sky, and there’s more and more 4K content on the way.’
Expect the same-sized library you would expect to find on the Cathay Pacific long-haul fleet, with the latest Hollywood blockbusters, the largest collection of Chinese movies and subtitles in the skies, plus TV box sets, content to help you relax from Calm, and music playlists and podcasts.
‘Watching a 4K movie inflight has to be seen to be believed,’ adds Cuthbert. ‘On the A321neo, your flight won’t feel long enough.’
5. Get plugged in – and go hands free
Cathay Pacific is the first airline to offer full Bluetooth audio connectivity* for passenger devices. Each seat also features both USB-A and USB-C to easily charge your devices, while Business seats also boast power outlets and noise-cancelling headphones.
The A321neos are also fitted with antennae to receive state-of-the-art satellite-based broadband – meaning you’ll get high-speed Wi-Fi connection* to browse and shop online.
7. You can fly with confidence
The brand new A321neos feature an improved ventilation system and rigorous cleaning and disinfecting measures. And with our Cathay Care commitment to your wellbeing, you can fly with the knowledge that we’ve enhanced our hygiene measures at every stage of your journey.
Spacious storage
Space-conscious design ensure there’s more room for your travel essentials. Extra-large overhead bins can fit eight carry-on bags comfortably – 60 per cent more than before – so you’ll always have room to stow your belongings.
There’s also a wealth of thoughtful personal storage options. Both Business and Economy Class seats feature seat cup and bottle holders, as well as integrated stands for tablets and personal devices.
Considered cabins
There’s a sense of space across the cabins, accentuated by warm mood lighting, while closer examination reveals considered details at every seat to make flying a pleasure.
Take the baggage bins. Not the most exciting part of the aircraft experience, yet often the cause of anxiety at boarding – will there be enough space for your bag? Yes, is the short answer: the new Airbus XL bin provides more space for carry-on bags – in fact, 60 per cent more compared to the current A321. ‘This is an optional feature on the A321neo – you won’t find it on every airline,’ says Laurent Tremblay-Simard, Customer Experience Manager Inflight Premium Cabins for Cathay Pacific. ‘It’s a big change customers will notice straight away.’
A better Business
The small, select Business cabin offers 12 seats in a 2×2 formation. The seats are perfectly formed; they offer width, comfort and an electronically controlled recline with leg support. Best of all, ‘our aircraft has the best privacy level of any other regional business product,’ says Tremblay-Simard. That’s thanks to a sliding screen between seats – and as the seats are mounted in a shell, reclining increases privacy further without encroaching on the seat behind.
There are multiple stowage options, with cup, bottle and digital tablet holders, while the star feature is a 15.6-inch 4K HD screen, up from a standard HD 12-inch screen. To charge your own devices, each seat offers an AC power outlet, plus USB-A and USB-C sockets. You’ll receive complimentary noise-cancelling headphones – and in a first, you’ll be able to connect your own Bluetooth earphones as well, progressively introduced across the planes.
Extraordinary Economy
There’s a real long-haul feel in the Economy cabin. Eyes are drawn straight away to the familiar-looking seats arranged in a 3×3 alignment. These are the same seats that are found on Cathay Pacific’s widebody A350-1000, with a few tweaks for their role.
‘As this is a single-aisle aircraft, the seats have been optimized for regional travel,’ says Tremblay-Simard. The optimisation sees the finessing of seat cushions to get the balance between comfort and legroom for flights of up to six hours. The headrest is a simplified version of those found on the A350-1000, while still offering the popular neck-support feature. Seats are a comfortable 18-inch width, while pitch – the space between seats – is 29-30 inches.
Charge your device via USB-A or USB-C outlets, and store them on the seatback cup and tablet holder that can be used without opening out the tray table. That frees up more space to relax and enjoy the clarity and detail of a movie on the 11.6-inch 4K ultra HD screen, upgraded from the 9-inch HD screens of previous aircraft. And just like in Business, you’ll be able to link up your own earphones via Bluetooth, a feature being progressively introduced across the planes.
Top-flight connectivity
Phrases like state-of-the-art can be overused, but in this case it stands up. Cathay Pacific’s A321neos are packed with the latest technical goodies that you would expect to find on a long-haul aircraft.
‘We rolled out connectivity on most of the Cathay Pacific widebody aircraft, and it was important for us to bring that experience on to the A321neos,’ says Tremblay-Simard. All the aircraft are Wi-Fi connected with the latest Gogo 2Ku satellite-based broadband inflight connectivity, the same found on the Boeing 777 fleet. And because this aircraft is flying regionally, strong consistent satellite coverage means it’s easy to check emails, browse, post and shop online.
8. You’ll be able to explore all of Asia
The A321neos have a range of 7,400km – meaning that the whole of Asia is open to them. Stay tuned for a full destination list, coming soon.
Hygiene at every step
Our brand-new A321neo aircraft features high-tech HEPA ventilation technology to ensure the highest air quality possible. We employ vigorous disinfection and cleaning measures to ensure our cabins are thoroughly sanitised ahead of every journey.
Keeping our cabins clean and safe is a core part of our commitment to protecting your wellbeing.
