At 0250 Hours Hong Kong SAR- Beijing Time 17TH December 2024 , China- People’s Republic of China- CNSA –China National Space Administration Successfully launched Chang Zheng – Long March 2D Carrier Rocket ignited and took off at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center Shanxi Province.. at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center to successfully send four synthetic aperture radar satellites developed by Galaxy Aerospace into the predetermined orbit. The launch mission was a complete success!
At 2:50 on December 17, 2024, the Long March 2D Yao 99 carrier rocket successfully launched the PIESAT-2 09~12 satellites of the Space Hongtu (pictured in P) and the mission badge at the No. 9 workstation of the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center . The Long March 2D rocket was developed by the Eighth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. The launch service for this mission was provided by the Great Wall Company of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation as the general contractor. In order to meet the requirements of the satellite launch layout, this mission used the Ф3800 composite satellite fairing designed by the Eighth Academy for the first time. This type of fairing is widely used in multiple models such as CZ-6C, CZ-6A, CZ-4B/4C, and CZ-2D. The space envelope inside the fairing is larger, which can achieve omnidirectional wave transmission, making the available space of the satellite more abundant and the “communication” between the satellite and the ground more flexible and convenient. Previously, the Long March 6 modified carrier rocket had used composite fairings, and the application effect was good.
In the future, composite fairings will become the shelf-type “optional products” of the Eighth Academy rockets, providing “satellite passengers” with more abundant launch service options. The four satellite users of this mission are Zhuzhou Space Interstellar Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. The satellites have the same technical status and are all low-orbit SAR satellites. They are equipped with high-resolution SAR payloads and on-board intelligent processing, on-board mission planning and other payloads. They have the capabilities of single-satellite high-resolution imaging, multi-satellite high-precision interferometry, on-board intelligent processing and autonomous operation, emergency communication and rapid response, as well as long-term stable data output, and will conduct remote sensing observations and related applications in orbit. Duan Xiao, chief designer of Galaxy Aerospace SAR satellites, introduced that SAR satellites are a general term for earth observation remote sensing satellites carrying SAR payloads, with superior performance such as all-day, all-weather, and high-resolution earth observation. Multiple SAR satellites can increase the revisit rate and carry out a variety of networking applications. They can obtain high-resolution imaging and high-frequency observations, provide regular coverage on a global scale, and achieve millimeter-level deformation measurement of targets such as dams and bridges. They support and serve the application needs of land resources, earthquake monitoring, disaster prevention and mitigation, basic geographic information acquisition, and forestry, and better serve the national economy and people’s livelihood.
