After about 21 minutes of rocket flight, the rocket successfully reached the Yuanwang 5 survey and control arc. As the only offshore measurement and control point for this mission, there is no overlap between Yuanwang 5 and the land measurement and control station, and emergency measurement and control preparations must be made at the critical moment. During the mission, the various systems cooperated in a coordinated manner to continue the offshore measurement and control for about 300 seconds, accurately and efficiently sending real-time measurement and control data to the Xi'an Satellite Measurement and Control Center.
Zou Huizhi, deputy captain of the Yuanwang No. 5 ship survey and control, said: "This mission is the first mission of the Yuanwang fleet in the second half of the year, and the entire ship's scientific and technological personnel are fully confident of completing the task. Complete data acquisition and correct information exchange will protect key actions such as rocket in-orbit and separation of stars and arrows."
It is reported that after completing this maritime measurement and control mission, Yuanwang 5 will quickly move to the next mission area. (Finish)
