On the Rustic half diameter planet size Red planet Mars  on Hong Kong SAR- Beijing  Earth Friday  time On June 11th  2021 , at the unveiling ceremony of the first batch of scientific image maps of the Tianwen-1 rover landing on Mars in Beijing, the panoramic view of the landing site, the topography of Mars, the “Chinese imprint” and the image taken by the “Zhurong” rover were announced. “Photographs with the tour” and other image maps. The release of the first batch of scientific image maps marked the complete success of my country’s first Mars exploration mission.

The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Dragon Boat Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Tianzhong Festival, was originally a festival originated  by ancient ancestors to worship the dragon ancestors, pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits. In the midsummer Dragon Boat Festival, the Canglong Qi Su soared in the middle of the sky in the south, and was in the most “center” position in the whole year, that is, as the line of the fifth line of “The Book of Changes•Qian Gua”: “Flying Dragon is in the Sky”. The Dragon Boat Festival is due to legend that Qu Yuan, a poet of Chu State during the Warring States Period, committed suicide by jumping on the Miluo River on May 5. Later, people also took the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan. The fragrance of dumplings and dragon boats became one of the four traditional festivals in China.

The two most primitive beliefs of the Chinese people: one is belief in heaven and earth, and the other is belief in ancestors. Most of the ancient festivals were formed when the ancients chose auspicious days to make sacrifices to thank the gods and ancestors. The early festival culture reflected the humanistic spirit of the ancients such as natural worship and consolidating the roots. Sacrificial activities contain profound cultural connotations of respectful virtue, ritual and music civilization. The word “Dragon Boat Festival” first appeared in “Feng Tu Ji” of the Jin Dynasty. The original meaning of the word “duan” is “zheng”, and “wu” is “zhong”. “Dragon Boat Festival”, “Zhengzhong” also. The ancients used the heavenly stems and earthly branches to record the years, the heavenly stems carried the way of the sky, and the earth supported the way of carrying the earth. The heavenly stems and the earth’s branches were set up to coordinate the luck of the heavens and the earth. On the midsummer noon day, the Canglong Seven Suspension is in the middle of the south of the sky, which is the most “centered” position for daily operations throughout the year, and it is a sign of good fortune.

Qu Yuan was not an emperor or a general, but a poet. Few people can understand his poems, but for more than two thousand years, Chinese children have expressed their memory of him on the Dragon Boat Festival. This is not only in China, but there is no second example in the history of the world. Different from the “The Great Avenue is in my heart” of the philosophers, what Qu Yuan wants to present is the interaction between heaven and man. At the same time, he feels that he has many doubts that he can’t answer, “Sun and the moon, Lie Xing, Chen?”, “圜 is nine layers, who is the camp?”. More than two thousand years ago, Qu Yuan issued more than 170 questions, asking about the circulation of stars, studying the Taoist school of heaven and earth, exploring the evolution of all things, and seeking the principles of the world. Although he could not fully understand, Qu Yuan also expressed his attitude: “The road is long and long, and I will search up and down”, “I am more than good at heart, even if I die nine times, I still have no regrets.” This is China The simple expression of the ancients exploring the unknown and pursuing the truth.

This year’s Dragon Boat Festival has added a different kind of feelings. The name of China’s first Mars exploration mission, Tianwen-1, is derived from Qu Yuan’s long poem “Tianwen”. This year, China’s first Mars exploration mission was a complete success, and Tianwen-1 left a Chinese mark on the surface of Mars for the first time. The mission of the Chinese astronauts is to turn romantic myths into materialized reality, and to provide scientific answers to the millennial doubts. Tianwen-1’s journey to Mars will also be a question and answer to the ancients of China over a thousand years of time and space.

In addition, the commemoration of Qu Yuan also reflects the feelings of family and country and national characteristics in traditional Chinese culture. As we all know, the main civilization of the Chinese originated from the farming civilization, and the Chinese solar terms are mostly related to the farming time. Farming civilization is different from nomadic civilization and marine civilization. For nomadic civilization, horseback is home, tent is home, living by water and grass, and migrating with the seasons. Ocean civilization is always looking forward to the other shore, and where the other shore is may never be known, or it may never come back. China’s farming civilization advocates “intensive farming”, spring ploughing and autumn harvesting, which are stable and peaceful. Looking back at China’s aerospace industry from the perspective of civilization and history, it can be said that China’s aerospace industry is deeply rooted in the development sequence of the Chinese nation’s civilization and serves the sustainable progress of human civilization and the well-being of people’s lives. The development of China’s aerospace industry is shouldered The development of the mission is the development of open cooperation and the development of peace and win-win. It will also make more and greater contributions to building a community with a shared future for mankind.

Tianwen No.1 carries Zhurong No.1, I wish you all a good Dragon Boat Festival, Happiness goes well..

On the 3rd June 2021 in early morning CNSA _China National Space Administration -China – People’s Republic of China At 0017 Hong Kong –Beijing Time on pasting midnight  early morning …. China- People’s Republic of China successfully launched the advance Earth Sciences successful launch of Fengyun 4B At 0:17 Hong Kong -Beijing time on June 3rd 2021, amid the huge roar of the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, the Long March 3B- Chang Zheng 3B carrier rocket pierced the night sky and sent the Fengyun 4B star into its intended orbit. The launch was a complete success .from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center Sichuan Province …. This launch is the 119th launch of the Long March series of rockets and the 372nd launch of the Long March series of carrier rockets. 

The Fengyun-4B star was developed by the Eighth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group. It has a launch weight of 5400 kg and a design life of 7 years. It is mainly used in my country’s weather analysis and forecasting, environment and disaster monitoring and other fields. The 4A satellite jointly realizes the operation of the dual-satellite networking service of my country’s new generation of geostationary orbit satellites.

The Long March –Chang Zheng 3B external Chang San B booster successfully controls the parachute landing zone] The Chang San B rocket, which performs the FY-4B satellite launch mission, has completed the verification of the booster landing zone control flight based on 300 square meters of controllable Para foil in my country for the first time. After the booster is separated from the core stage, the continuous positioning of the satellite navigation under high dynamics is realized, and various key actions are performed at a predetermined altitude. Finally, under the action of the Para foil, it flies to the target maneuvering point according to the predetermined homing strategy, The test was a complete success.


According to Hu Wei, deputy chief designer of the Changsanjia series of carrier rockets, this is also the heaviest rocket detachment in the world that uses Para foil control to return successfully. The test has obtained all the flight data of the landing zone control system, which is the follow-up parachute landing zone control technology. Engineering applications and the improvement of the safety of the rocket wreckage landing area provide important references. The booster parachute landing control system was developed by the overall design department of the Rocket Academy, and the parachute system was developed by the Beijing Space Electromechanical Research Institute. In terms of the control technology of the rocket separation body landing zone, the Rocket Academy has successively broken through the first sub-level grid rudder landing zone control technology and the booster parachute landing zone control technology, laying a foundation for the realization of new technologies such as sub-level controllable recovery and vertical return in the future in which is an important technical foundation or reusable External Booster Rockets..

The Long March – Chang Zheng 3B Chang San B external booster rocket successfully completed the booster landing zone control flight verification side note] The Chang San B rocket carrying out the Fengyun 4 B satellite launch mission is equipped with a 300 square meter controllable parafoil for the first time. The large parafoil carrying booster is in accordance with the homing procedure is controlled and landed safely, which signifies that my country has a controllable recovery capability for a 4-ton load. “This is also the heaviest rocket detachment in the world that uses parafoil control to successfully return home. The test has obtained all the flight data of the landing zone control system, which is for the subsequent engineering application of parachute landing zone control technology and the improvement of the safety of the rocket wreckage landing zone. To provide an important reference, Hu Wei, the deputy chief designer of the Long Three A series of carrier rockets, introduced.


In this loading verification, the 300 square meter parafoil is currently the largest area of ​​parafoil under development in China, and it weighs a full 160 seventy kilograms. , The specification completed the three actions of deployment, homing, and obstacle avoidance. This series of actions is also an important basis for judging the success of this flight verification. In this verification, a total of 21 obstacle avoidance areas were set up within a range of 2,700 kilometers. The realization is quite perfect; the nearest obstacle avoidance point is 10 km~12 km. “Teng Haishan said. In this External Booster Changsan B rocket mission, after the booster and the core stage were separated, the continuous positioning of satellite navigation under high dynamics was realized, and various key actions were performed at the predetermined altitude. Finally, in the wing Under the action of the parachute, the booster flew to the target manoeuvre point according to the predetermined homing strategy, and the test was a complete success.
The successful verification of the parachute landing zone control system created another “international first” for China Aerospace. An important milestone in the field of thruster’s accurate recovery, it also provides strong support for the subsequent accurate recovery and reusability of the rocket separation body. In layman’s terms, in the future, the system can allow the rocket wreck to complete the launch mission to fall in a controlled state in order to Yu landed in a more suitable safe area to minimize the impact on the landing are

This testing is a major breakthrough has been made in the precision recovery technology of the 508 large parafoil, the first international use of a large parafoil controllable recovery rocket booster] June 3, 2021, the booster large parafoil recovery system developed by the 508 was equipped with the Long March III The B carrier rocket conducted its first flight test. After the booster was separated from the core stage of the rocket, the country’s largest parafoil (300 square meters) controlled the 4-ton booster to manoeuvre toward the scheduled landing point and landed in a safe area. After the flight data interpretation and the on-site product inspection in the landing area, the recovery system’s working procedures were normal, the parachutes at all levels decelerated normally, and the automatic homing control was normal. The flight test was successfully completed. This flight test is the first time in the world that a large parafoil has been used to realize the controllable recovery of rocket boosters and the safety control of the landing zone. It indicates that my country has mastered the precise recovery technology of large parafoil and has the ability to adopt large parafoil controllable recovery4 Tonnage load capacity.

Planning for Beijing Interstellar Glory Space Technology Co., Ltd. is expected to conduct a “Grasshopper Test” similar to SpaceX in 2021, using a reusable engine independently developed by Interstellar Glory to conduct a sub-class 100-kilometer vertical take-off and landing test. Test to verify the performance of the entire one- carrier rocket recovery. Among them are two key technologies: the variable thrust technology of the liquid oxygen methane engine and the re-entry recovery navigation guidance and control technology. In the second half of 2021, Interstellar Glory will execute the first launch of the Hyperbolic II small liquid oxygen methane-powered reusable launch vehicle into orbit and recycle one sub-stage……

Introducing the Hyperbola III successfully passed the review of the transition to the program demonstration Recently, Interstellar Glory organized a review meeting for the overall program demonstration of the Hyperbola III (code-named “SQX-3”) liquid carrier rocket. The review expert group gave the technical proposal It was fully affirmed, and unanimously passed the review of the transfer of the SQX-3 liquid carrier vehicle overall program demonstration, marking the official transition of the SQX-3 liquid carrier rocket from the overall program demonstration stage to the model development stage. The SQX-3 series of liquid carrier rockets, as medium and large liquid carrier rockets of Interstellar Glory, are currently known domestically planned reusable liquid carrier rockets with the largest diameter, the strongest carrying capacity, and the lowest launch price per kilogram of payload. The main model for launching missions in the launch market will help further enhance the service capabilities of domestic commercial launch vehicles.


The SQX-3 series liquid launch vehicle includes three configurations: SQX-3 basic type, SQX-3A (two-core stage in parallel), and SQX-3B (three-core stage in parallel). The carrying capacity can meet the needs of a variety of load tasks. In addition to meeting large-scale satellite networking, medium and large satellite launch tasks, it also has the capabilities of space station transportation and deep space exploration. SQX-3 inherits the SQX-2 first-stage vertical recovery technology (VTVL), and improves the rocket body diameter and engine thrust to make the carrying capacity reach the scale of a medium-sized launch vehicle; through two-core parallel and three-core parallel , So that the carrying capacity can reach the scale of a large-scale launch vehicle.


The basic model of SQX-3 is a two-stage tandem layout, with a body diameter of 4.2m, a total length of 68m, and a take-off mass of 490t. The first sub-stage is the general core stage, which uses 9 Focus 2 (code-named “JD-2”, sea level thrust 85t) liquid oxygen methane engines in parallel layout, which can be landed vertically on land recovery sites and offshore recovery platforms, with return Field recovery and off-line recovery capabilities; a JD-2 engine vacuum version (vacuum thrust 104t level) is installed in the second stage, which can achieve multiple ignitions, so that the load can be put into orbit in a variety of flight modes, and the use of it is flexible. After the SQX-3 series of liquid carrier rockets complete the program transition, Interstellar Honor will accelerate the pace of rocket development and quickly enter the launch market after completing its first flight in June 2024.
