On that day also On June 23th 2022, the Chang Zheng Long March 2D Yao 64 carrier rocket was successfully launched. On June 26, the de-orbit system configured on the rocket load bay successfully deployed the de-orbit sail device in orbit. This is the largest off-orbit sail product in China at present, with a sail surface area of ​​25 square meters in a fully unfolded state. With its pilotage, the launch vehicle load bay weighing about 300 kilograms will re-enter the atmosphere within 2 years, releasing valuable orbital resources and reducing space debris.

The off-orbit sail is a thin-film structure that can be deployed on a satellite (or spacecraft) and can be deployed autonomously in space. The windward area uses the aerodynamic resistance formed by the thin atmosphere in the low-orbit environment to slowly decelerate the satellite and gradually leave the original orbit.

Without de-orbit measures, a 700-kilometer-high, 15-kilogram satellite will occupy orbit for 120 years or more after the end of its life; if de-orbit sails are configured, the orbit time can be shortened to less than 10 years . Moreover, the de-orbiting sail is used to implement de-orbiting without consuming fuel. Even if the spacecraft fails or is out of control, de-orbiting can be effectively implemented.

The Chang Zheng Long March 2D Carrier Rocket successfully sent the remote sensing number 30 the satellites A, B and C of the 02 group of No. 5 were sent into the sun-synchronous orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success. The three satellites are mainly used for scientific experiments, land and resources census in provisions of mainly used for scientific experiments, land and resources census, agricultural production estimation, disaster prevention and mitigation and other fields and other fields. This is the 424th launch of the Chang Zheng Long March series of launch vehicles.

This launch is the 60th launch of the Chang Zheng Long March 2D carrier rocket, the 159th flight test of the Chang Zheng Long March series of carrier rockets developed by the Eighth Institute, and the 424th launch of the Chang Zheng Long March series of carrier rockets…

On the 2nd June 2022 on a Modest  Day in  CNSA _China National Space Administration -China – People’s Republic of China At midday 1200 Hours Hong Kong –Beijing Time on an. China successfully launched Satellites using the Chang Zheng Long March 2C carrier rocket at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center Sichuan Province…..

China- People’s Republic of China successfully launched a Chang Zheng Long March 2C carrier rocket of deploying a nine constellations Geely  satellites in which is a series of group one of the constellations …. In the second half of this year, the Xichang launch site will also perform 12 space launch missions….  At 12:00 Hong Kong SAR –Beijing Time  on June 2nd 2022, the Chang Zheng Long March 2C carrier rocket successfully launched 9 satellites at the Xichang launch site, marking the opening of the Xichang launch site for high-density in the second half of the year Task. It is understood that the mission was carried out in parallel with the three-launch mission, and the 2 carrier rockets and 13 satellites were tested and guaranteed at the same time, which once again refreshed the satellite security test record at the launch site. By the end of the year, the Xichang launch site will also carry out 12 space launch missions, with an average of 1 launch every half a month and a minimum interval of 5 days. The full text is one Chang Zheng Long March 2C carrier rocket and nine satellites! Created the record for the largest number of satellites launched in a single launch at the Xichang Launch Site

It is also Geely Constellation 01 group of constellation satellites the first orbit of Geely’s future travel constellation nine satellites was successfully launched at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center with Chang Zheng Long March 2C carrier rocket and nine satellites, the satellite successfully entered the predetermined orbit, and the launch mission was obtained, A complete success. This group of satellites is used for the first orbital plane deployment test of the space-time low-orbit -low-orbit future travel constellation.


Through the construction of the future travel constellation, Daoyu Space-Time will build a high-precision space-time information system that integrates heaven and earth, and create a “future travel” ecology covering all areas. Combined with multi-dimensional carriers such as automobiles and consumer electronic products, it will enable smart travel, unmanned systems, and smart Cities and other fields to create a future travel technology ecosystem.


The first-orbit nine-satellite of the future travel constellation launched this time was completely independently developed by Geely Technology Group Shikong Daoyu. Satellite manufacturing efficiency and system reliability have reached the industry-leading level. This is the first time that China – People’s Republic of China has successfully launched a mass-produced commercial satellite from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in a “one arrow and nine satellites” approach. The first track Jiuxing combined with the ground-based PPP-RTK space-time information network that has been built by Time-space Daoyu, as well as Beidou-3 modules and terminal products, will realize the integrated application of remote sensing, navigation and communication technologies, and provide a three-dimensional guarantee for future travel.


At the beginning of 2021, Shikong Daoyu started the development of Geely’s future travel constellation 12 satellites, and completed the design, production and large-scale system planning of 12 100kg satellites within 15 months. ….

Also during the June 1 2022 Wednesday, shallow earthquakes of magnitude 6.1 and 4.5 occurred successively in Ya’an, Sichuan, and the Xichang launch site, which is about 300 kilometers away from the epicentre, was strongly felt.


After the earthquake, the launch site responded quickly, launched an emergency plan, and carried out special post-earthquake inspections: organize post personnel to carefully check and confirm the state of the rocket, measure the verticality of the rocket; check the damage to test facilities such as workshops and fuel depots in the technical area. After confirming that it is not affected, continue to carry out pre-launch related tests according to the mission plan.
Under the complex and severe epidemic situation, the Chang Zheng Long March 2C carrier rocket test team strictly implemented the requirements for epidemic prevention and control at the launch site, established a special working group, and strived to win the “double victory” of epidemic prevention and control and launch tasks….

China- People’s Republic of China successfully launched a Chang Zheng Long March 2C carrier rocket with 7 satellites.. the newly advance Payload section of the Carrier Rocket-  The “big head” has a long second-grade rocket! The 4.2-meter fairing has a large space and can accommodate many satellites …In this launch mission, the Chang Zheng Long March 2C carrier rocket sent 7 satellites into the predetermined orbit, and the diameter of the rocket fairing must be designed to be larger, which can be described as a new challenge. This launch is the first flight of a two-stage rocket configuration with a 4.2-meter fairing configuration, and the instrument cabin is at a height of 660 mm, which is a new combined configuration state of the rocket

Chang Zheng Long March 2C carrier rocket  Engines was ignited at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, successfully sending 6 communication satellites and 1 remote sensing test satellite of Galaxy Space into the predetermined orbit .


According to reports, the six communication satellites launched this time are low-orbit broadband communication satellites independently developed and mass-manufactured by Galaxy Aerospace. The designed communication capacity of a single satellite exceeds 40Gbps, and the average satellite weight is about 190Kg. Among them, 4 communication satellites were named “Nantong No. 1”, “Yitu No. Xingyuan”, “Xuancheng No. 1” and “Beijing You-Yinhe” satellite; the remote sensing test satellite was “Xuanming Xingyuan” satellite.



Chang Ming, the commander-in-chief of Galaxy Aerospace Satellite, said that these six satellites will form my country’s first low-orbit broadband communication test constellation together with the first satellite of Galaxy Aerospace, and build a satellite-ground fusion 5G test network “Little Spider Web” with a single The uninterrupted and low-latency broadband communication service capability of about 30 minutes can be used for technical verification of my country’s low-orbit satellite Internet and the integrated space-earth network.
