“The satellites launched this time are highly compatible with our Long March 6 rocket,” said Yu Yansheng, the overall chief designer of the Eight, Chang Zheng –Long March 6 test team. From the perspective of load weight, there are several types of rockets on the market that can perform this mission, but after an in-depth analysis of the satellite’s shape design and mission requirements, only the fairing envelope and carrying capacity of the Long March 6 are most suitable for the mission.

In view of the overall configuration of the mission satellite with a large aspect ratio, an inverted cone-shaped frame-type satellite support was designed for the model, and it is equipped with a 2.9-meter-diameter satellite fairing to adapt to the layout and interface of the satellite in the fairing. Requirements, provide effective “lifting + support” for satellites. In addition, the foam spraying technology is used on the outside of the satellite fairing to realize the insulation measures of the fairing without operation at the launch site and before launch.

At the same time, in terms of the separation method of the satellite, Chang Zheng –Long March 6 Y12 adopted a point-type connection and separation device composed of four components for the first time, which has the characteristics of light weight and intensive functions of Improved separation reliability.

In view of the fact that there are many satellite operation items after the rocket is transferred to the launch area, the design and operation personnel of the two sides of the model organization, the Star and Rocket, carried out special exchanges to confirm the timing, process, tools, precautions, etc. of the operation one by one; at the same time, arrange Specialized operation drills optimize the operation process to ensure that the time is controllable, safe and smooth in actual operation.

The Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in June coincided with the season with more thunderstorms, and the model carried out re-identification, re-analysis, and re-confirmation of summer launch risks at the launch site. According to the characteristics of the Long March 6 carrier rocket’s “three-level” test launch mode and unsupported launch, a special review of rain and lightning protection was carried out, including the effectiveness of rain and lightning protection measures, the actual implementation of various measures, and the dismantling and rain protection before launch. Timing, etc., form a tabular inspection and confirmation document to ensure that the rocket meets the pre-launch operation and launch requirements during the thunderstorm season.

國家航天局CNSA –China National Space Administration  China, People’s Republic of China plans to launch the Einstein probe at the end of this year China plans to launch a new X-ray astronomical satellite, the Einstein probe, at the end of 2023. It is expected to capture the first ray of light from a supernova explosion and help search and precise positioning the source of gravitational waves, discovering more distant, fainter celestial objects and fleeting mysterious phenomena in the universe. The satellite project has entered the final stage of positive development.

The X-ray Imaging Laboratory of the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has been developing lobster eye X-ray imaging technology since 2010. After years of key technology research, it finally made a breakthrough, fully mastered the technology, and has completely independent intellectual property rights. The team carried out the test and verification of this technology on the space new technology test satellite launched in July 2022, and obtained and publicly released the wide-field X-ray focused imaging sky map for the first time in the world.

Yuan Weimin, the chief scientist of the Einstein Probe Satellite and a researcher at the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, introduced at the recently held 35th National Space Exploration Symposium that the satellite project has entered the final development stage.

Inspired by the peculiar focusing imaging principle of lobster eyes, scientists have designed a special new type of X-ray telescope, which has a large observation field of view and higher detection sensitivity.

“That is to say, this kind of telescope can see the darker and farther universe while seeing a wide range. It is thanks to the lobster eye telescope technology that the Einstein Probe satellite can see the currently known universe.” There are very few soft X-ray bands for large-field, high-sensitivity, and fast time-domain survey monitoring.” Yuan Weimin said.
