On the 0813 30th  December 2023 Saturday  Hours Hong- Kong SAR – Beijing time CNSA –China National Space Administration , China, People’s Republic of China. Successfully launched the Chang Zheng- Long March 2C/Yuanzheng 1S Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, Inner Mongolia, China, People’s Republic of China, and then successfully launched a new advance satellite internet technology.

The Long March 2C/Yuanzheng 1S carrier rocket ignited and took off at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, and then successfully sent the satellite Internet technology test satellite into the predetermined orbit. This year, all 48 space missions of the launch vehicles developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation were a complete success. The satellite Internet technology test satellite was developed by the Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

“Long March 2C” is a medium-sized two-stage room-temperature liquid launch vehicle developed by the First Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. Its main power uses dinitrogen tetroxide/uniform dimethylhydrazine (N2O4/UDMH) propellant. The arrow is about 42.3 meters long, with a first and second stage diameter of 3.35 meters, a take-off mass of 241 tons, and a take-off thrust of about 302 tons. Its low-Earth orbit transport capacity is 4 tons, and the maximum transport capacity in the 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit is 2 tons. When paired with the “expedition” In the “No. 1 S” upper stage state, the 700-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit has a transport capacity of 2.5 tons…

The “Yuanzheng-1″ commercial/”Yuanzheng-1S” (YZ-1S) upper stage was developed by the First Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology and was improved on the basis of the “Yuanzheng-1” upper stage. The upper stage has a diameter of 2.8 meters, is equipped with a YF-50D engine, uses dinitrogen tetroxide/uniform dimethyl hydrazine propellant, has 2 ignition capabilities, a vacuum thrust of about 0.66 tons, and a vacuum specific impulse of about 316 seconds. This upper stage is mainly aimed at short-term flight missions. It has system optimization and equipment streamlining based on the “Yuanzheng-1” upper stage. Its weight and cost are greatly reduced, and its working time is shorter. After being separated from the basic stage, it can immediately The ignition was accelerated and the entire flight mission was completed within one hour.

Since its successful first flight, the “Yuanzheng-1” commercial upper stage has carried out a total of 7 launch missions, all of which were carried out in conjunction with the “Chang 2-C” rocket. The “Chang 2C” rocket, paired with the “Yuanzheng-1S” upper stage, can perform various orbital launch missions such as low-Earth orbit, sun-synchronous orbit, geosynchronous transfer orbit, and earth-moon transfer orbit, and has the ability to launch multiple satellites in different orbits.

This launch is the 9th launch of the “Long March 2C” rocket in 2023, the 36th launch of the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, the 67th launch of China, and the 220th launch of the world. At the same time, this launch is also the final battle between China’s aerospace industry and the world’s aerospace industry this year. The total number of China’s space launches this year reached a record-breaking 67, and the total number of world space launches reached a new high of 220.

This mission is the 505th flight of the Long March series of launch vehicles.

[Are the destinations of private Carrier rockets all turtle version of Falcon 9]

Oriental Space’s “Gravity 2” recyclable Reusable liquid launch vehicle plans to fly for the first time in 2025. According to news on November 27, the 2023 China (Wenchang) Commercial Aerospace Summit Forum was held in Wenchang Hosted, Oriental Space and Hainan Wenchang International Space City officially signed a launch vehicle launch and recovery Hainan base project to conduct in-depth cooperation around the launch and recovery of the “Gravity 2” recyclable liquid launch vehicle to serve large-scale constellation networking and high-orbit rocket launches need.

Eastern Space will launch its all-solid Gravity-1 rocket next month, but its subsequent destination will still be a liquid rocket.

Gravity 2 has a take-off weight of 927 tons, a take-off thrust of 1,420 tons, a low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of 25.6 tons, a 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit carrying capacity of 19.1 tons, and a geosynchronous transfer orbit of 7.7 tons. It is planned to make its first flight in 2025.



The “Gravity-2” recyclable liquid launch vehicle is scheduled to fly for the first time in 2025. Gravity-2 is positioned to meet the needs of large-scale networking of medium and large satellites and commercial high-orbit launches. It is characterized by ultimate cost-effectiveness/high-orbit launch/core-stage recovery. of medium and large launch vehicles.



The rocket adopts a two-stage and a half configuration of liquid core stage + solid boost. The first stage of the core uses 9 units of Oriental Space’s self-developed Force-85 liquid oxygen and kerosene engines, and the second stage of the core uses 1 unit of the Force-85 liquid oxygen and kerosene vacuum version. The engine and booster inherit the Gravity-1 boost technology

[The first all-solid private rocket with four boosters is about to be launched] Oriental Space’s first launch vehicle “Gravity-1” is scheduled to be launched from Haiyang Oriental Space Port in Shandong Province in December 2023. of the first launch.

“Gravity One” is an innovative model in the world’s launch vehicle field. It is the world’s first medium-sized all-solid strap-on launch vehicle. It will become the world’s solid launch vehicle with the largest take-off capacity and the most powerful capacity. Officials have now released actual shots of the appearance of the “Gravity-1” Yaoyi rocket.



It adopts a three-stage and a half configuration, consisting of a core first stage, a core second stage, a core third stage and four boosters bundled around the core first stage, all using solid propellant.

“Gravity One” meets the needs of large-scale networking of small and medium-sized satellites in low orbit, and supports the launch needs of multiple satellites in one rocket. For a constellation satellite with a single weight of 200 kilograms, the rocket can support the multi-satellite launch of 18 to 24 satellites in one rocket. In the Yaoyi mission, the rocket will be equipped with a fairing with a diameter of 4.2 meters, the largest of Chinese commercial rockets, waiting for the solid giant rocket to rise from the east.

The arrow core has a first-stage diameter of 2.65 meters and is equipped with an SR-2500 solid rocket motor with a thrust of 255 tons and a maximum nozzle diameter of 2.4 meters, leading the country in comprehensive performance. The booster has a diameter of 2.65 meters and a height of more than 10 meters. It is equipped with a solid engine with a thrust of more than 150 tons; the secondary core diameter is 2.65 meters; the third core diameter is 1.4 meters. It is equipped with a solid main engine. The final attitude control power system has a total of 4 50 N and 12 The 700-N solid motor is used for attitude control such as pitch, yaw, and roll and terminal speed correction during part of the rocket’s flight phase, and is used for final stage deorbit and reentry.



The “Gravity One” rocket is 31.4 meters long, has a take-off mass of 405 tons, a take-off thrust of more than 600 tons (the core first stage does not ignite during take-off), a thrust-to-weight ratio of more than 1.48, and optional fairings with diameters of 3.35 meters, 3.8 meters and 4.2 meters. The 4.2-meter-diameter fairing has a load space of 100 cubic meters. Its low-Earth orbit (LEO) carrying capacity is 6.5 tons, and the carrying factor is about 1.60%. The 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) carrying capacity is 4.2 tons, and the carrying factor is about 1.04%. 700 The kilometer SSO has a carrying capacity of 3.7 tons and a carrying coefficient of approximately 0.91%.

For comparison, the world’s most powerful solid rocket is currently the European Space Agency’s “Vega-C”, which has a take-off mass of 210 tons, a take-off thrust of about 459 tons, and a 700-kilometer polar orbit (PO) transport capacity of 2.3 tons (700-kilometer SSO). The transport capacity is close to 2.3 tons) and the load factor is 1.10%.

In comparison, the take-off mass of “Gravity One” is 190 tons higher, and the 700-kilometer SSO transport capacity is nearly 1.4 tons higher.
