China News Service, Beijing, November 13th (Guo Chaokai) At 23:59 on November 12th, Beijing time, China used the Long March 3B carrier rocket at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center to send the Tiantong One 02 satellite into the scheduled orbit and launch A complete success.

  Tiantong-1 02 was developed by the China Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. It will provide users in China and surrounding areas, the Middle East, Africa and other related areas, as well as most of the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean. Stable and reliable mobile communication services, supporting voice, short message and data services.

  Tiantong-1 02 is based on the Dongfanghong-4 satellite platform. The core components have been independently controllable, and the key technologies have independent intellectual property rights.

Tiantong-1 02 satellite optimized the design of the satellite platform and payload according to the needs of use, enhanced the flexibility of use, broke through key technologies such as integrated satellite-ground resource dynamic management and multi-satellite joint control, and improved resource utilization efficiency and system service capabilities.

  According to reports, the Tiantong-1 satellite mobile communication system is a satellite mobile communication system independently developed and constructed by China and an important part of China's space information infrastructure.

The system consists of a space segment, a ground segment and user terminals. The space segment consists of multiple geosynchronous orbit mobile communication satellites.

  Tiantong-1 01 was launched by the Long March 3B carrier rocket on August 6, 2016, and has been in orbit stably for 4 years.

After the successful launch of the 02 satellite of Tiantong 1, it will be networked with 01 satellite and subsequent satellites to form a satellite mobile communication system in the Asia-Pacific region. On the one hand, it uses the coverage advantages of satellite communication to form an effective supplement to the ground mobile communication network, and on the other hand, it serves as an emergency The core of the basic satellite communication network will effectively improve China's ability to respond to emergencies and provide a strong guarantee for the development of the national economy.
