China News Service, Beijing, June 5 (Qi Chuang Wang Xueyan) On June 5, China successfully launched the Shenzhou 14 manned spacecraft into space with the Long March 2F Yao 14 carrier rocket at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
As the only offshore monitoring and control point, the Yuanwang-3 ship completes the manned spacecraft monitoring and communication tasks in the orbital segment, and provides key monitoring and control support and data communication guarantees for the spacecraft to accurately enter orbit.
About 10 minutes after the rocket took off and flew, the Yuanwang-3 ship found and successfully captured the target in the mission sea area in time. The onboard aerospace measurement and control equipment quickly received the spacecraft's telemetry signals, and at the same time carried out measurement work on the spacecraft, quickly, accurately and efficiently. Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center sends data.
The entire marine measurement and control process lasted about 7 minutes, providing important support for the normal operation of the spacecraft and smooth communication.
Sun Jiangping, director of the planning department of Yuanwang 3, said, "In this mission, our ship is mainly responsible for the tasks of telemetry, external measurement, remote control, data transmission and voice during the entry of the Shenzhou 14 manned spacecraft. During the mission, we The target was discovered and captured in time, the sky-earth measurement and control channel was quickly established, the initial orbit of the spacecraft was accurately determined, and the established mission was successfully completed."
Yuanwang No. 3 was completed and launched in 1994 and put into use in 1995. In the past 28 years, it has made more than 60 voyages to sea. It is a veritable "old man" in the Yuanwang fleet.
It is reported that this mission is the 100th mission of the Yuanwang-3 ship, and it also marks the 100% success rate of the Yuanwang-3 ship's 100 missions.

"This mission is not only the world-renowned 'Guozi' manned space mission, but also the 100th mission performed by the Yuanwang-3 ship, and the first single-ship 100th mission in the history of the Yuanwang fleet." China Liu Bing, chief engineer of the Satellite Maritime Measurement and Control Department, said, "During the mission, we successfully sent remote control commands for the spacecraft's solar panels to provide important support for the normal entry and smooth operation of the Shenzhou 14 manned spacecraft. In the future, our Yuanwang survey ship The team will also perform maritime measurement and control tasks such as the Wentian experimental module, the Mengtian experimental module and the Shenzhou 15 manned spacecraft, making new contributions to the construction of my country's space station project."
It is reported that after the Shenzhou 14 manned spacecraft enters orbit, the Yuanwang 3 ship will be on standby at all times in the mission sea area and be ready for emergency monitoring and control at any time.
After the manned spacecraft successfully docks with the Tianhe core module to form a combination, the Yuanwang-3 ship will go to the next sea area at full speed to accumulate power for the next maritime monitoring and control tasks.
