China News Service, Beijing, January 29th (Guo Chaokai) At 12:47 on January 29th, Beijing time, China used the Long March 4C carrier rocket at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to successfully integrate Remote Sensing 31 with one arrow and three stars in series. Group 02 satellites were launched into space, and the satellites successfully entered the scheduled orbit.
Remote Sensing No. 31 Group 02 satellites were developed by the China Academy of Space Technology affiliated to China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, and are mainly used for electromagnetic environment detection and related technical tests.
The Long March 4C carrier rocket for this launch mission is a normal temperature liquid three-stage launch vehicle developed by the Shanghai Aerospace Technology Research Institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Group. It has the ability to launch multiple types of satellites with different orbital requirements. Arrow launches from single or multiple stars, and its sun-synchronous circular orbit carrying capacity can reach 3 tons (orbital height of 700 kilometers).
The mission was launched before the Spring Festival. The Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center is still frequently invaded by cold waves, the weather is unusually cold and the wind and sand are relatively heavy, which puts great pressure on the test launch.
In order to ensure the successful launch of the rocket within the scheduled window, the test team worked closely with the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to fully optimize the tower facilities and equipment support capabilities through multiple rounds of analysis and coordination, and take multiple measures to ensure the smooth development of the launch mission.
This mission kicked off the prelude to the high-density launch of this year's Chang-4 model.
In the future, the Chang-4 model will face parallel operations in Jiuquan, Taiyuan, and Shanghai, with the dual challenges of high-density launch and high-intensity development.
In order to cope with this new normal, the Chang-4 model continued to optimize the development technology process, improve the flexibility of development and production and the response speed to tasks; streamline the test launch process, implement the quality confirmation "Nissin system", and effectively support the quality management of the rocket launch site the work.
This mission is the 127th flight of the Long March series of carrier rockets developed by the Shanghai Academy of Aerospace Technology, and the 359th flight of the Long March series of carrier rockets.
