深蓝航天  Deep Blue Limited – Deep Blue Aerospace One of sixty Chinese private space Carrier Rocket Companies in China-People’s Republic of China…  As many of sixty plus Private Rocket Deep Blue Aerospace Co., Ltd. was established in 2017. The company is mainly a high-tech aerospace enterprise that focuses on the direction of liquid recovery and reusable launch vehicles and provides users with commercial launch services. Deep Blue Aerospace Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province. At the same time, the company has rocket general and liquid engine R&D centers in Yizhuang, Beijing and Xi’an, Shaanxi, respectively, and a rocket power system test base in Tongchuan, Shaanxi…..

Recently this month of June July 2023 , the separation test of the fairing of the “Xingyun-1” liquid recyclable and reusable launch vehicle of Shenlan Aerospace was a complete success. This is the first test in China to use a non-pyrotechnic connection unlocking mechanism to separate the fairing. In order to fully verify the separation state of the fairing under different deviations, Deep Blue Aerospace has conducted many experiments on this round, all of which use the self-developed non-pyrotechnic connection unlocking mechanism. The separation timing of the test is correct, which is basically consistent with the simulation results. No damage occurred in

This round of separation tests was completed in the Deep Blue Aerospace Nantong rocket assembly base, and the fairing was completely recovered after multiple tests. ​The main technical indicators of this round of fairing separation test have been completed:

This round of tests used the same set of connection and unlocking mechanisms to complete multiple separation tests within three days, verifying the reusability and rapid response capabilities of the self-developed non-pyrotechnic connection and unlocking mechanism, which is the first time in domestic fairing separation tests. ​

This round of fairing separation test is one of the phase tests before the first flight of the “Xingyun-1” liquid reusable launch vehicle. The success of this round of tests will pave the way for the first flight of the “Xingyun-1” rocket in 2024 established a solid foundation.

Why did the rocket separate the fairing? ​ ​The launch vehicle will encounter harsh environments during flight. The fairing protects the satellite load from aerodynamic force and aerodynamic heat, and also reduces the aerodynamic resistance of the launch vehicle during flight. After leaving the atmosphere, the launch vehicle is no longer affected by aerodynamics, and throwing away the fairing helps to increase the rocket’s carrying capacity.

Suzaku-2 Yao-1 carrier rocket flight failure passed the zero-reset review On March 18, 2023, Blue Arrow Aerospace Science and Technology Co., Ltd. organized a zero-reset review meeting for the abnormal shutdown failure of the second-stage aircraft of the Suzaku-2 Yao-1 carrier rocket. After deliberation, the evaluation expert group unanimously believed that the abnormal shutdown fault problem of the second-stage engine of the Suzaku-2 remote-1 launch vehicle was accurately located and the mechanism was clear. The fault recurred in the ground test of the engine.



The Suzaku-2 Yao-1 carrier rocket ignited and took off at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in China at 16:30 on December 14, 2022. The first-stage flight, first- and second-stage separation, second-stage ignition, and fairing separation were all normal. After the second-stage host was shut down The tour plane shut down abnormally, and the launch mission failed. After the failure of the mission, Blue Arrow Aerospace established a zero-return working group to organize failure analysis, locate the cause of the failure, and analyze the failure mode and mechanism. Through the detailed analysis of the flight telemetry data, a comprehensive simulation analysis calculation and a series of test verification and hot test work were planned to find out the cause and mechanism of the failure. The abnormal shutdown fault of the second-level swimming machine is located in the rigidity mismatch between the oxygen delivery pipe of the swimming machine and the low-pressure casing of the oxygen pump, and the low-pressure casing has insufficient strength margin. The game machine shuts down abnormally. In view of the cause and mechanism of the failure, Blue Arrow Aerospace has adopted a number of improvement measures to improve the structural safety factor and reduce the impact of water hammer. The improvement measures have been verified by simulation analysis and calculation and ground test vehicle assessment, and can meet the flight requirements.

We would like to thank the review expert group for their guidance and assistance to Blue Arrow Aerospace during the zeroing process, the customers for their trust and understanding, and all shareholders for their long-term companionship and support. In the follow-up, the company will fully launch the final assembly and general inspection of the Suzaku No. 2 launch vehicle, quickly implement fault improvement measures, continuously enhance the team’s quality awareness, awareness of urgency, and responsibility awareness, and strictly organize the go-around work of Suzaku No. 2. Ensuring the continued success of subsequent launch missions……
