 The Pallas-1 series of launch vehicles are compatible with fairings with diameters of 3.35m, 4.2m, and 5.2m to meet the needs of different satellite customers. The fairing used in this test is one of the series of fairing products independently developed and designed by Galaxy Power, and is consistent with the Pallas-1 Yao-1 flight test product. The fairing adopts a von Karman shape, which has the advantages of low flight aerodynamic resistance, light structural mass and easy operation.

The fairing end cap is made of high-strength ablation-resistant composite material, a large area of ​​honeycomb sandwich composite material structure, and a metal frame structure at the rear. The fairing separation system adopts a “hinge-spring” half-cover rotation separation scheme, and the lateral and longitudinal separation unlocking devices both use point-type explosive bolts, which have small impact during the separation process and high separation reliability.

The static test of the fairing assessed the fairing’s ability to resist external loads and verified the structural strength. The test achieved the intended purpose and obtained relevant data. The modal test obtained the fairing’s modal parameters, providing a basis for structural dynamics model modification and fairing separation calculation.
 

The fairing separation test fully verified the correctness of the fairing separation system design, obtained the collision boundary data between the fairing separation body and the payload, assessed the adaptability of the structural system to the separation concentrated force load and the impact load of pyrotechnics, and obtained important mechanical environment parameters.

The complete success of the fairing series tests indicates that Galaxy Aerospace has the ability to quickly design, analyze and test large liquid rocket fairings, laying a solid foundation for the company’s subsequent model development.

[APSTAR6E Aptema Satellite 6E successfully positioned at 134° east longitude]

On the 10 July 2024 Wednesday Asia-Pacific Satellite News; the Asia-Pacific 6E satellite was successfully positioned at 134° east longitude and is ready for business. The satellite will co-orbit with the Asia-Pacific 6C and Asia-Pacific 6D satellites.


The Asia-Pacific 6E satellite is a geostationary orbit satellite built on the DFH-3E platform. It was purchased by Asia-Pacific Satellite Corporation’s joint venture Asia-Pacific Starlink Satellite Co., Ltd., and Asia-Pacific Satellite Corporation provides operational technical support. The satellite was launched from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center on January 13, 2023. After launch, it completed the orbit change of the assembly to the intermediate orbit, and then relied on the satellite’s ion and Hall electric propulsion systems to carry out orbit raising operations and finally reach the synchronous orbit

Asia-Pacific 6E is my country’s first fully electric propulsion communications satellite, equipped with 25 Ku user beams and 3 Ka gateway beams, with a communication capacity of approximately 30 Gbps.

On the 13TH January 2023  in  CNSA _China National Space Administration -China – People’s Republic of China At 0210 hours Hong Kong –Beijing Time China- People’s Republic of China launch the Chang Zheng – Long march 2C Carrier Rocket launching from station form Xichang Satellite Launch Center Sichuan Province…..Deploying the  Asia Pacific 6E – APSTAR 6E Communications Satellite ..

The Asia Pacific 6E – APSTAR 6E Satellite this is the first time that China, People’s Republic of China has launched an all-electric high-throughput communication satellite. First, the carrier rocket sends the combination of the satellite and the propulsion module into low-earth orbit, and then the satellite controls the DFH-3E propulsion module to send the satellite to the designated orbit. Then separate from the satellite. In the follow-up, the satellite will rely on its own LIPS-200 electric propulsion system, and after 10 months of orbital ascension, it will finally enter the GEO fixed point….implement the Asia-Pacific 6E communication satellite launch mission at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center at around 2:11 am on January 13 (the first star of the Dongfanghong-3 E platform APSTAR 6E satellite will provide high-speed and convenient high-throughput broadband communication services for Southeast Asia, effectively filling the gap in the broadband communication market in Southeast Asia. The rockets and satellites used in this launch were all developed by China Airlines. This is the 460th launch of the Long March series of launch vehicle
