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.

On  the 10th December 2020 Thursday early mid-morning  CNSA _China National Space Administration -China – People’s Republic of China successfully launched the All-Sky Monitor Satellite for Gravitational Wave Storm High-Energy Electromagnetic Correspondence  At 4:14 Hong Kong – Beijing time  on December 10, 2020, China used the International Icon Long March 11 –Chang Zheng carrier rocket at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center- Sichuan Province to using on carrier rocket launching and two satellites”. The all-sky monitor satellite of the gravitational wave storm high-energy electromagnetic counterpart was sent into a predetermined orbit, and the launch was a complete success….. Thursday’s launch was the 355th mission of the Long March rocket series.

The gravitational wave storm high-energy electromagnetic counterpart all-sky monitor satellite is deployed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Strategic Leading Science and Technology Special Space Science (Phase II). The two small satellites adopt a conjugate orbit constellation layout, which will be used for gravitational wave gamma bursts and fast radio bursts. High-energy radiation, special gamma bursts, and magnetar explosions and other high-energy celestial explosion phenomena are monitored throughout the sky, and dense celestial bodies such as neutron stars and black holes and their merger processes are studied. In addition, the satellite will also detect space high-energy radiation phenomena such as solar flares, earth gamma flashes and earth electron beams, and provide scientific observation data for further study of their physical mechanisms.


The Chinese Academy of Sciences is responsible for the organization and implementation of the gravitational wave storm high-energy electromagnetic counterpart all-sky monitor satellite project. The National Space Science Center is responsible for the development and construction of the general engineering and ground support system. The Institute of Microsatellite Innovation is responsible for the development of satellite systems and high-energy physics research. The unit that proposes scientific goals for the mission and is responsible for the development and construction of satellite payloads and scientific application systems. The Aerospace Information Innovation Institute is responsible for the ground reception of scientific data. The Long March 11 carrier rocket used for this launch was developed and produced by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
This mission is the 355th flight of the Long March series of carrier rockets…..

During the duration of the launching Xiamen Observation and Control Station successfully completed the all-sky monitor satellite measurement and control mission of the gravitational wave storm high-energy electromagnetic counterpart] “Sanya found the target, the tracking is normal!” “Xiamen double capture is completed, the telemetry signal is normal”…Beijing time December 10, 2020 At 4:14, my country used the Long March 11 carrier rocket at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center to successfully send the gravitational wave burst high-energy electromagnetic counterpart all-sky monitor satellite into a predetermined orbit with one arrow and two stars. After the rocket lifted off, the Sanya Observation and Control Station and the Xiamen Observation and Control Station discovered and captured the target in time, completed the telemetry data reception, and accurately sent it to the Xi’an Center, successfully completing the launch, measurement and control task. The following two monitoring and control sites will also take over the monitoring and control tasks of the satellite’s early orbital segment and long-term management segment

On 20th December 2019, Morning 1122 hours local time on a wintery clear Taiyuan Satellite Launch center, Shanxi province – People’s Republic of China CNSA China National Space Administration… Launched an international iconic Long March 4B – ChangZheng 4B carrier Rocket… In which the event of the launch was to celebrated the twenty years anniversary of the Macau handover back to Motherland- China –People’s Republic of China.. In which was celebrated on that day…..

 In which the delivering the payloads satellites into its planned orbit in which the first payload is a collaboration in between the people’s republic of China and Brazil, in collaboration development in which that development was previously collaborative development of series of Earth Sciences – resources satellites in which is the CBERS in which the newly  inserted  CBERS 04A replaced its preceded CBERS 04… as its next generation helps data analysis provisionments for land resources, monitoring the environment and climate change and help analysis disasters prevention. It will also provide servicements to countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America regions.

Within the new satellite installed with multispectral cameras which can provide optical remote sensing data in high, medium and low resolutions. It has more stable imaging capability than its predecessors, with higher extremely degree of positioning accuracies… in which the collaboration together provides social culture exchanges- economic in working together that collaboration with China Academy of Space Technology and the National Institute for Space Research of Brazil. The carrier rocket was developed by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology….

The secondary payload satellite is the first introductory satellite for The same rocket put into orbits another eight satellites, including a wide-range multispectral remote-sensing microsatellite donated to Ethiopia in which now giving Ethiopia as developing country a chance in having a space program of their own in inspiring their citizens in education working in space Sciences….  One of the eight of payload satellites is aimed at researching Gravitational Waves in which Tianqin No.1, a gravitational wave detector measures extremely slight changes and differences of gravitational waves..  in the millihertz frequencies. The experiment relies on a constellation of three drag-free spacecraft orbiting the Earth. Inter-spacecraft laser interferometry is used to monitor the distances between the test masses. The experiment is designed to be capable of detecting a signal with high confidence from a single source of gravitational waves within a few months of observing time. We describe the preliminary mission concept for TianQin, including the candidate source and experimental designs. We present estimates for the major constituents of the experiment’s error budget and discuss the project’s overall feasibility. Given the current level of technological readiness, we expect TianQin to be flown in the second half of the next decade…..
