The improved Kuaizhou-1A rocket has greatly increased its carrying capacity and successfully launched a radar remote sensing satellite in Xichang..

During  on 4th December 2024   at 1246 Hong Kong SAR- Beijing Time  launching from one of many complexes Xichang Satellite Launch center, Sichuan Province –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  At 12:46 Beijing time on December 4, 2024, at the launch pad of the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, the “Kuaizhou-1A” solid carrier rocket ignited and took off, sending the “Haishao-1” remote sensing satellite into low Earth orbit (LEO).

“Haishao-1” (CAS Satellite 08) is a small synthetic aperture radar (SAR) remote sensing satellite that can realize on-board imaging and inversion and extraction of ocean dynamic information, and has a wide range of application scenarios.

Kuaizhou-1A is a four-stage small launch vehicle developed by China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) Rocket Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the 9th Academy of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation. It adopts a four-stage tandem configuration, with solid rocket engines in the first, second and third stages and a room-temperature liquid engine in the fourth stage. The liquid final stage of the rocket is equipped with a nitrogen tetroxide (N2O4)/monomethylhydrazine (CH6N2) engine, which has the ability to ignite multiple times and can carry out multi-satellite launch missions in different orbits.

The improved launch vehicle “Kuaizhou-1A” was used this time, which adopted technologies such as high payload ratio optimization, de-tasking, landing area control, and online variable parameters, and achieved significant improvements in carrying capacity, satellite available envelope, reliability, and performance. Compared with the previous version, the external diameter of the fairing of the improved “Kuaizhou-1A” rocket has been increased from 1.4 meters to 1.8 meters, and the carrying capacity of the 500-kilometer, 45-degree low-Earth orbit (LEO) has been increased from 390 kilograms to 500 kilograms, the carrying capacity of the 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) has been increased from 260 kilograms to 360 kilograms, and the carrying capacity of the 700-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) has been increased from 200 kilograms to more than 300 kilograms.

Since its successful maiden flight, the Kuaizhou-1A rocket has carried out a total of 28 launches, 26 of which were successful, with a success rate of 92.86%. It is China’s solid-propellant carrier rocket with the most launches and the most successes. Since the successful launch of the Kuaizhou-1A Yao 23 rocket on June 22, 2022, the rocket has achieved 14 consecutive victories, which is the second longest winning streak of China’s active solid rockets, second only to the 17 consecutive victories of the Long March 11 rocket, which is still ongoing. On the afternoon of September 20, 2024, the Kuaizhou-1A Yao 31 rocket carried out the 27th launch of the arrow, 75 days away from this launch.

This launch is the fourth launch of the Kuaizhou-1A rocket in 2024, the 18th launch from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, the 61st launch in China, and the 231st orbital space launch in the world.

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……in which is now in operation……

At 17:43 Hong Kong SAR- Beijing time on Saturday September 20th , 2024, at the Xichang Launch Center in Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province , China, People’s Republic of China , the “Kuaizhou-1A” solid-fuel carrier rocket carrying four communication satellites of the “Apocalypse” constellation 29 to 32 was launched, successfully sending the satellites into low Earth orbit (LEO).

The 29th to 32nd satellites of the “Apocalypse” constellation are low-orbit satellite IoT communication satellites developed by Beijing Guodian Hi-Tech Co., Ltd. The “Apocalypse” constellation is built and operated by Beijing Guodian Hi-Tech Co., Ltd. It consists of 38 satellites and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024. It will achieve an average revisit frequency of 1 time/10 minutes worldwide. The constellation aims to create a global low-orbit satellite IoT ecosystem that integrates the earth and the sky, and open up a new situation for satellite IoT consumer applications.

“Kuaizhou-1A” is a small launch vehicle launched by China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation. It adopts a four-stage tandem configuration, with solid power in the first, second and third stages and liquid power in the fourth stage. The rocket is about 20 meters high and has a maximum diameter of 1.4 meters. It can be equipped with a fairing with a diameter of 1.2 meters/1.4 meters. The takeoff mass is about 30 tons and the takeoff thrust is 60 tons. Its low-Earth orbit (LEO) capacity is 300 kilograms, the 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) capacity is 250 kilograms, and the 700-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) capacity is 200 kilograms. The liquid last stage of this rocket has the ability to ignite multiple times and can perform multi-satellite launch missions in different orbits. In this mission, this type of rocket has greatly shortened the position process time through technical optimization, further improving product reliability.

 Since its successful maiden flight, the Kuaizhou-1A rocket has carried out a total of 27 launches, 25 of which were successful, making it China’s solid-fuel carrier rocket with the most launches and the most successes. Since the successful launch of the Kuaizhou-1A Yao 23 rocket on June 22, 2022, the rocket has achieved 13 consecutive victories.

This launch mission is the third launch of the Kuaizhou-1A rocket in 2024, the 14th launch from the Xichang Launch Center, the 43rd launch in China, and the 173rd launch into orbit in the world. From the launch of the Long March 3B at 09:14 on September 19 to this launch, China’s space program has carried out three launches within 33 hours, opening a high-density launch mode.
