In which中国 successfully launched the 2C carrier rocket ignited and took off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, and then successfully sent the Einstein probe satellite into the predetermined orbit. The first mission of the Chang-II C rocket in 2024 was a complete success. This mission also means that China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation has won its first victory in the 2024 space launch mission.

The Chang Zheng – Long March 2C carrier rocket at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center to successfully launch the Einstein Probe satellite. space, the satellite successfully entered the scheduled orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success. The Einstein probe satellite is the first large-scale application of “lobster eye” microhole array focusing imaging technology in the world, which can achieve a 10-fold improvement in sensitivity and spatial resolution. It can accurately capture the universe while conducting large-field monitoring. We will detect more distant and faint high-energy temporary sources and fleeting unknown phenomena, and issue early warnings to guide other astronomical equipment based on space and ground to conduct follow-up observations. Thumbs up!!!

Einstein probe According to reports, the Einstein probe satellite is a catcher of explosions of cosmic objects. It can accurately capture more distant and faint temporary sources and explosive objects, and explore X-ray signals from gravitational wave sources. , is of great scientific significance for studying stellar activity, the formation, evolution, merger and other processes of compact objects such as black holes and neutron stars.

The Einstein probe satellite uses astronomical time-domain observation methods in the soft physical process. The Einstein probe satellite carries two payloads: the Widefield X-ray Telescope (WXT) and the Follow-up X-ray Telescope (FXT). For the first time in the world, the “lobster eye” microhole array focusing imaging technology is used on a large scale. The detection capability is world-leading, and the sensitivity and spatial resolution can be improved by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude. While detecting a large field of view, it can accurately detect Capture distant and faint high-energy temporary sources and fleeting unknown phenomena in the universe, and issue early warnings to guide other astronomical equipment based on space and ground to conduct subsequent observations. The satellite design life is 5 years

“The Einstein probe satellite launched this time is one of the space science satellites established and implemented under my country’s Space Science Pilot Project (Phase II). It is also my country’s first large-field X-ray astronomy satellite, used to capture Einstein’s predictions. astronomical phenomena such as black holes and gravitational wave electromagnetic counterparts.” At the mobilization meeting, Cui Zhaoyun emphasized the importance of this mission to the team members.

This mission involves the “Princess and the Pea” who cannot tolerate a speck of dust. Several high-end cameras were installed on this payload, and the lenses had very high requirements for cleanliness. To this end, the operators also performed “dust-proof treatment” on the inner wall of the long 2-propylene rocket fairing.

The fairing usually consists of a basic structure with a composite skin and metal reinforcements. After being fixed with rivets, there will be very small debris in the gaps in the inner wall. These debris may fall onto the lens during fairing closure or flight vibrations. “General loads will not be affected by this, but considering the particularity of this mission, we sprayed a layer of coating on the inner wall of the fairing to seal in fine dust.”

 天问一号飞運騎遊達达3亿CNSA – China National Space Administration – ESA – European Space agency Belt and road initiative mars mission…first Mars exploration mission, Tianwen- Martian Probe One As of September 15, 2022, the Tianwen-1 orbiter has been in orbit for more than 780 days, and the rover has travelled a total of 1,921 meters, completed the established scientific exploration tasks, and obtained 1,480 GB of original scientific exploration data. The scientific research team has obtained rich scientific results through the research on the first-hand scientific data obtained independently by my country. Through a comprehensive study of typical landforms such as concave cones, barrier craters, and trenches distributed in the landing area, the important connection between the formation of the above-mentioned landforms and water activities has been revealed.

朱融号 The photos taken by the Mars rover before hibernation for one month (April 2022), maybe this is the posthumous work

Currently as to date of the Zhurong Mars Rover is currently at sleep safe mode due to the Martian Sandstorms….. the location of Zhurong taken by the Tianwen-1 orbiter after it hibernated in Zhurong last year. The rut marks left by Zhurong after traveling 1921 meters are clearly visible….. The local dust on Mars captured by the Tianwen-1 orbiter is very layered. This photo was taken by the medium-resolution camera of the Tianwen-1 orbiter on January 6, 2022, and Zhurong went into a dormant state more than three months after this time point. 

The Tianwen-1 mission was approved by the Party Central Committee in January 2016, and was successfully launched on July 23, 2020. After a deep space flight of 475 million kilometers for 202 days, the probe will rendezvous with Mars on February 10, 2021, and successfully implemented the capture and braking to enter the orbit around Mars. After 3 months of detailed inspection of the pre-selected landing area, the Mars landing was successfully carried out on May 15, 2021. On May 22, the “Zhurong” rover successfully landed on the surface of Mars and began to patrol and explore.

On August 15, 2021, the “Zhurong” rover successfully completed the 90 Martian scientific exploration missions, and continued to carry out extended exploration missions. It has traveled 1,921.5 meters on the surface of Mars. Affected by the severe winter cold and dusty weather in the landing area, the rover will enter the winter dormancy mode on May 18, 2022 as designed. Around December 2022, the “Zhurong” landing area will enter the early spring season. will resume normal work.

The orbiter has circled Mars 1,344 times, achieving global coverage and is currently in normal condition. In the follow-up, it will continue to carry out global remote sensing detection, and choose an opportunity to carry out expansion technology experiments to carry out preliminary technical verification for related tasks.

After nearly two years of flight and exploration for the Tianwen-1 mission, the 13 scientific payloads deployed by the rover and orbiter have obtained a total of about 1040GB of raw scientific data. After receiving and processing on the ground, the standard scientific data products formed are submitted to the rover on a monthly basis. A team of scientists has conducted analysis and interpretation, and relevant scientific results have been published in well-known academic journals at home and abroad. These scientific data will be open to scientists around the world at an appropriate time. Scientists around the world are welcome to actively apply for research and jointly promote the cause of human exploration of the universe.

At present, the Tianwen-1 orbiter continues to carry out scientific exploration in the orbit of the remote sensing mission, continues to accumulate first-hand scientific data, and makes China’s contribution to mankind’s in-depth understanding of Mars.
