low earth communications satellite

During today on 6^th September 2022 Tuesday at 1024 Hong Kong SAR- Beijing Time launching from one of many complexes酒泉衛星發射中心 Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Dongfeng Aerospace City – inner Mongolia –China – People’s Republic of China on中國製造 Expace Technology Corporation, , the Kuaizhou No. 1A solid carrier rocket ignited and lifted off at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center successfully launched one arrow and two stars again# Kuaizhou-1A rocket successfully launched Weili space test satellite

At 10:24 on September 6^th on a very warm autumn clear day using the Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to successfully launch the Weili Space Low Orbit Navigation Augmentation System S3/S4 test satellite into the sky. The satellite successfully entered the predetermined orbit and launched. The mission was a complete success. The Weili Space S3/S4 test satellite will carry out technical verification tests such as navigation enhancement in orbit.

The Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket that carried out this launch mission is a small solid carrier rocket launched by Aerospace Science and Industry Rocket Technology Co., Ltd. It has an international common interface and mainly provides launch services for 300kg low-orbit small satellites. It has the advantages of high flight reliability, high orbit entry accuracy, short preparation period, less support requirements, and low launch cost.

Since the Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket test team successfully completed the launch mission at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center on August 23, it was immediately transferred to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. Some of the rear test team assembled from Wuhan, Hubei, and cooperated and organized carefully to overcome the epidemic. Due to the adverse effects, the rocket final assembly test was carried out quickly, and all the work was completed in less than two weeks, and the launch conditions were met, which effectively guaranteed the complete success of the launch mission.

The Expace Kuaizhou-1A rocket for this launch mission is a small solid launch vehicle developed by China Aerospace Science and Industry’s Aerospace Sanjiang. It has international interfaces and mainly provides launch services for 300 kg low-orbit small satellites. Features such as high reliability, high precision into orbit, short preparation period, less guarantee demand, and low launch cost.

The Kuaizhou-1A rocket is a small solid launch vehicle launched by the Rocket Company of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation Limited. It has high flight reliability, high precision into orbit, short preparation period, less guarantee demand, and low launch cost Features.

Currently at the moment中國製造 Expace Technology Corporation- a CASIC -China aerospace science and industry corporation has been very busy in building a New Carrier Rocket Factory in Wuhan National Aerospace Industrial Base in which the base will be in operations in May 2020 Kuaizhou Rocket Industrial Park that forms the manufacturing of twenty plus more Kuaizhou Rockets also its other sister larger carrier rockets in process of The assembly test capability of 20 solid launch vehicles……

On 20^th May 2022 1830 Hours Hong Kong SAR- Beijing time , the Belt and Road Initiative CNSA –China National Space Administration launching from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center – Inner Mongolia –China – People’s Republic of China, successfully deployed three Communications Satellites with the Chang Zheng – Long March 2C carrier rocket on the satellite successfully entered the predetermined orbit….

China – People’s Republic of China successfully launched three low-orbit communication test satellites At 18:30 on May 20, 2022, Beijing time, China launched the Chang Zheng – Long March 2C carrier rocket yao 53 carrier rocket at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. Deploying the three satellites At the upper level of the fifth stage, three low-orbit communication test satellites were successfully sent into the scheduled low-Earth orbit in the way of “one carrier rocket and three satellites”, and the launch mission was a complete success.

The low-orbit communication test satellites launched this time are mainly used for on-orbit communication technology test verification. Two of them are developed by Changguang Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. and the other is developed by the Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

Chang Zheng – Long March 2C carrier rocket will also perform a launch mission in Xichang in the near future This year, the Chang Er C rocket will be transferred to multiple launch centers for high-density launches. According to Li Jun, the chief designer of the Chang Zheng – Long March 2C carrier rocket, the development team is currently working in Jiuquan and Xichang. A launch center performs the launch mission.

As a “Gold Medal Veteran”, the Chang Zheng – Long March 2C carrier rocket has mature technology and a stable state, but the development team is not satisfied with this, and always adheres to the sense of innovation, so that the rocket’s capabilities from the overall to the system, design and simulation verification have been significantly improved. Especially in recent years, the Chang Zheng – Long March 2C carrier rocket has successively applied the two-way correction of the ballistic high-altitude wind, the quasi-real-time secondary compensation before the launch, and the active load shedding control, which significantly reduces the aerodynamic load in flight and improves the flight safety and launch probability. , which can better cope with high-density emission requirements.

The Rocket Academy has also planned in advance to allocate resources closely around the successful launch, so as to realize the allocation of products between tasks and models and the reuse of personnel in the launch center. For example, in the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, the Chang Zheng – Long March 2C carrier rocket and Chang Zheng –Long March 2F Carrier rockets were launched in parallel. The two team’s reused personnel from multiple positions including the control and command post, which effectively reduced the number of personnel entering the site.

The Rocket Academy has also planned in advance to allocate force resources closely around the successful launch, so as to realize the allocation of products between tasks and models and the reuse of personnel in the launch center. For example, in the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, the Chang 2 C and Chang 2 F rockets were launched in parallel, and the two teams reused personnel from multiple positions, including the control and command post, which effectively reduced the number of personnel entering the site.

In the face of a more compact production test cycle, the R&D team completely eliminated the time loss of “idling” through the “transparency” of the product matching process, and comprehensively applied and continuously iteratively optimized the integrated documents in the final assembly and final test process to achieve quality. Control one-time alignment in place to ensure high-quality launch

This mission is the fourth launch of the upper stage of Expedition 1 S. The previous three launches were on October 9, 2018, August 24, 2021, and November 3, 2021.
This launch is the 421st launch of the Long March series of carrier rockets.
