launch of Ceres-1 (Haiyaoyi) launched 16 more technological innovations based on the previous 8 rockets successfully launched from land, and achieved 4 Six major breakthroughs: “World’s first” and two “domestic firsts”:
🔷The first domestic private rocket launch at sea
🔷The first domestic commercial aerospace launch into an 800km inclined orbit
🔷The world’s first launch from a land-sea universal mobile platform without
support 🔷The world’s first solid rocket unguided at sea Thermal launch
🔷The world’s first rocket adopts a maritime vertical self-alignment and online misalignment angle correction high-precision navigation solution
🔷The world’s first solid rocket adopts a non-pyrotechnic locking release mechanism.

This time Ceres 1 (Haiyao 1) entered an 800km inclined orbit, which is the farthest record set by a domestic private rocket. The 21st to 24th stars of the Apokolips constellation successfully carried it into orbit. Apocalypse Constellation 21 to 24 satellites are low-orbit data acquisition satellites developed by Beijing Guodian Hi-Tech Co., Ltd. and are part of the Apocalypse Constellation. The Apocalypse constellation is designed to be networked with 38 satellites, which can provide global data collection services and effectively solve the problem of IoT network access at sea, in the air and in remote areas that are not covered by ground networks. The ground segment of the system includes satellite management center, service operation center, earth station, gateway station, ground network,

 “Hefei High-tech No. 1” is the first special launch satellite in the second phase of construction among the 38 satellites planned by the Apocalypse Constellation. It is also the first satellite launched by Beijing Guodian High-tech Co., Ltd. after the industrial landing in Hefei High-tech Zone.

This mission is codenamed “The Little Mermaid”. “Ceres No. 1” will become China’s first sea-launched private commercial carrier rocket, and it will also become China’s third sea-launched carrier rocket. Prior to this, “Long March 11” and “Jielong 3” had achieved consecutive successes, verifying the feasibility, stability, and reliability of sea launches.

After “Ceres 1”, various types of rockets will be launched from the sea at the Oriental Spaceport. In December 2023, Eastern Space Company’s “Gravity 1” all-solid rocket will make its first flight here; in the first half of 2024, Rocket Company’s “Darwin 2” liquid rocket will also be launched here. In addition, sea-launched rockets such as China Aerospace Corporation’s “Lijian-1” will also be launched at the Oriental Space Port.

Compared with land-based launches, sea-based launches have two major advantages: the launch platform can be maneuvered and deployed and the launch range is wide. Specifically, on the one hand, sea launch can maneuver the launch platform to low latitudes close to the equator, which can maximize the use of the earth’s rotation speed and enhance rocket capacity; on the other hand, sea launch has a wider area Since the wreckage landing area is planned on the sea, it can avoid densely populated areas such as cities, which is convenient and safe.

The sea launch will be an important step for “Ceres-1” and its development company Xinghe Power Aerospace. It will expand the launch site resources for its rapid response and high-density launch delivery, and also provide convenience for various types of launches. At the same time, the sea launch of “Ceres No. 1” will also be an important step for China’s civil and commercial aerospace. The mission was a complete success!

LandSpace 蓝箭航天 One of sixty Chinese private space Carrier Rocket Companies in China-People’s Republic of China…   On the occasion of the centenary of the founding of the party, the first phase of the Jiaxing LandSpace Blue Arrow Aerospace Center,  located in VIC International Plaza, No. 13 Ronghua South Road, Yizhuang Economic and Technological Development Zone, Beijing China – People’s Republic of China…. The company located in a gathering place for the aerospace industry chain laid out in Zhejiang, was completed and will soon be put into use. Established mass production capacity for medium and large rockets, and completed the first phase of Jiaxing Blue Arrow Space Center…. Blue Arrow Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. (Blue Arrow Aerospace) is a leading domestic commercial company for the creation and operation of aerospace transportation systems, established in June 2015, a national high-tech enterprise, Member of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF). Guided by the national strategy and guided by market demand, Blue Arrow Aerospace is committed to developing a series of medium and large launch vehicles with liquid oxygen methane as propellant, providing cost-effective and highly reliable launch services for the global market.

朱鹏二号On the  12th July 2023酒泉衛星發射中心 Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center LandSpace Blue Arrow Aerospace Center,   LandSpace 蓝箭航天Suzaku-2 Yao-2  Carrier rocket successfully Launched At 09:00 Hours on July 12th, 2023, Beijing time, the Suzaku-2 Yao-2 carrier rocket was launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, Inner Mongolia, China, People’s Republic of China  The flight mission was completed according to the procedure, and the launch mission was a complete success. This mission is the second flight of the Suzaku-2 carrier rocket. Today, Blue Arrow proves to the world that methane can fly!

The LANDSPACE flight mission was completed according to the procedure, and the launch mission was a complete success. This mission is the second flight of the Suzaku-2 launch vehicle. The Suzaku-2 rocket has become the first launch vehicle in human history that uses liquid methane as a propellant to successfully enter orbit….

朱鹏二号 At present, the reusable liquid fuel engines that have completed the whole system test run include: “Lingyun” (10 tons of thrust, liquid oxygen methane) and “Dragon Cloud” (80 tons of thrust, liquid oxygen methane) of Kyushu Yunjian , “Thunder-R1” of Deep Blue Aerospace (20 tons of thrust, liquid oxygen kerosene), “Sky” of Galaxy Power (50 tons of thrust, liquid oxygen kerosene), “Focus One” of Star Glory (15 tons of thrust, liquid oxygen kerosene) Methane), Tianbing Science and Technology’s “Tianhuo 11” (30 tons thrust, liquid oxygen kerosene) and “Tianhuo 12” (110 tons thrust, liquid oxygen kerosene), Aerospace Propulsion “Canglong One” (60 tons thrust, liquid oxygen methane), etc.

From vertical beautiful picture! The Suzaku-2 Yao-2 carrier rocket, which uses liquid oxygen methane as propellant, has a two-stage configuration. The diameter of the rocket body is 3.35 meters, the height of the whole rocket is 49.5 meters, the take-off weight is 219 tons, and the take-off thrust is 268 tons. The fairing has a maximum diameter of 3.35 meters and a total length of 8.237 meters. The first stage of the rocket uses four Tianque 80-ton liquid oxygen methane engines connected in parallel, and the second stage uses a combination of Tianque 80-ton liquid oxygen methane engine and a Tianque 10-ton swimming liquid oxygen methane engine.

[The launch of Suzaku-2 should have no payload] Attentive netizens have noticed that the Blue Arrow’s draft did not mention any satellite payload information. According to anecdotal reports, there was no payload for this launch, only a counterweight. This is also reasonable. After all, the first flight failed, and no one can say whether the go-around will be successful. It is also understandable to be on the safe side to launch the counterweight. The reason is similar for Star Glory Yao 5 to launch without payload.

So Suzaku-2 has only passed the first big test, and there is a test of entering orbit with a load before the actual operation, which should be the next launch.

Blue Arrow’s success came at the right time, because according to rumours, Blue Arrow happened to be one of the major launch parties of my country’s X-net Internet constellation, and its successful orbital success in time proved its launch capability. strong condition. In China’s private aerospace industry today, basically those who can win orders from the X network have a high probability of surviving
