 The launch ceremony of Lijian-1 Y4 launch vehicle was successfully held at the China Science and Technology Aerospace Industrialization Base. Lijian-1 Y4 launch vehicle has completed all pre-delivery tasks according to the process and successfully passed the factory review. It will carry out the “one Carrier rocket, five satellites” launch mission at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in late September. This is also the fourth launch mission of this type of rocket. This batch of launched satellites is mainly used to provide remote sensing information services…

Lijian-1 Y4 launch vehicle has been successfully delivered from the factory –
China Science and Technology Aerospace News; Lijian-1 Y4 launch vehicle has completed all pre-delivery work according to the process. After testing, the product functions and performance indicators meet the flight mission requirements and have successfully passed the factory review. It will carry out the “one rocket, five satellites” launch mission at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in late September. This batch of satellites is mainly used to provide remote sensing information services.

Under the pulsating production mode, the Lijian-1 Yao-6, Yao-7, and Yao-8 launch vehicles are carrying out mass production and final assembly in an orderly manner. The products, equipment, instruments, tooling, etc. involved in the entire process have been planned in advance. Deployment, production tasks are clear, and production and assembly can be started simultaneously in the final assembly and testing plant and intelligent manufacturing plant. It is worth mentioning that the Zhongke Aerospace Industrialization Base currently has complete structural cabin manufacturing and assembly capabilities. Starting from the Lijian-1 Yao-5 launch vehicle, the manufactured cabins will be directly used and delivered for final assembly, further shortening the production and manufacturing cycle. .

As China’s first medium-sized rocket to achieve high-density launches and the record holder for multiple satellite launches in a single launch of Chinese commercial rockets, the Lijian-1 carrier rocket has achieved complete success for three consecutive launches, accurately delivering 37 satellites with a total load of 3.5 tons into the scheduled orbit, with a 100% launch success rate. This type of rocket is suitable for rapid network launch of small and medium-sized satellites in medium and low orbits. It has a carrying capacity of 1.5 tons in a 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit. It is a medium-sized solid launch vehicle with core competitiveness in China’s commercial launch vehicle launch market and is also the main force in China’s commercial aerospace industry. It is one of the rockets that can effectively meet the needs of the commercial launch market in medium and low orbits. It also has the ability to respond quickly to diversified market demands and is committed to providing customers with highly reliable, low-cost, and high-density flight-based launch services.

#AIRBUS |Space and Defense- The #SpaceTug – revolution the space industry extending life..

 

In development of launching spacecraft, or satellites in which most do come with an operational life cycle in which till the next generation series that replaces its core operation, in which replacing the current satellites that nearing its life cycle can be costly to its operators..   in results there’s one interesting case that could be learnt during the STS –Space Transportation Systems, the Space Shuttle mission where that lessons learnt in repairing the HST- Hubble Space Telescope, also to with along with other satellites- ISS- International Space Station repairs during that STS mission era..

That lesson learnt is extending the satellites operations life cycle, before it reaching its maximum expiring operations cycle…. One Airbus Space and Defense have in mind is The Space Tug, in which designing to operations a multipurpose –application robotic satellite that does numerous tasks in helping other satellites for repositioning, refueling them aswell also exchanging other payloads as technologies progresses also it introduces reusability in space with the aid of solar electric propulsion in which enhances its services also as it rendezvous with its Patient with the aid of vision based navigation also rendezvous with others  in and proximity operations even for satellites that are not design for rendezvous…
