Qilu No. 1 and Qilu No. 4 satellites mainly provide remote sensing services for Shandong's land, urban construction, agriculture, forestry, energy, disaster prevention and mitigation and other industries; Foshan No. 1 satellites mainly carry out satellite platform and integrated design, ultra-lightweight camera design, and high-speed Verification of resolution imaging technology.
The Zhong’an Guotong-1 satellite launched on board is mainly used for real-time imaging observation satellite system technology verification; Apocalypse constellation 09 is mainly used for data acquisition and transmission services; Originspace NEO-1 satellite is mainly used for small celestial observation and scientific research; Taijing-2 01 Satellites are mainly used to provide commercial remote sensing services; Golden Bauhinia 1 and Lingque 1 D02 satellites are mainly used to verify remote sensing satellite platform technology.
The nine satellites launched this time are all provided by China Great Wall Industry Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Great Wall Company"), a subsidiary of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, as the general contractor.
This mission is also the first time that Great Wall has innovated a commercial shared launch model, also known as "carpool launch", which provides high-reliability and cost-effective launch services for different satellites of different domestic customers on the same launch rocket.
Up to now, Great Wall has provided 32 launch services, launching 54 domestic commercial satellites and 27 international payloads.
The Long March 6 launch vehicle for this launch mission is a cryogenic liquid three-stage launch vehicle developed by the Shanghai Aerospace Technology Research Institute affiliated to China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. The 700-km sun-synchronous orbit has a designed carrying capacity of up to 1 ton, and can complete orders. Star, multi-satellite and piggyback launch.
The Long March 6 launch vehicle has the advantages of moderate carrying capacity, large fairing space, short delivery period, and supporting exclusive launch stations. It has successfully completed 5 launch missions.
This mission is the 366th flight of the Long March series of carrier rockets.
