Send ＂Fu＂ to heaven! Have you ever seen such a hard-core New Year greeting？
CCTV News:
At 11: 02 on January 16, 2020
China is in Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
Use the speedboat-1 A carrier rocket.
Successfully launched the first star of Galaxy Space.
This launch is the first appearance of the clipper series launch vehicle in 2020.
It is also the eighth launch mission of the Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket.
The launch coincided with the Spring Festival.
The rocket arrow is painted with elements such as the word "Fu" and "Fu Qiang Fu" in the New Year.
It represents the wonderful Chinese New Year wishes of China astronauts to the motherland and people.
What is the first star of Galaxy Space?
↑ Poke the video to see how awesome the technology of the first star of Galaxy Aerospace is.
Galaxy space first star
It is independently developed by Galaxy Aerospace (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd.
Low Earth Orbit Broadband Communication Satellite with International Advanced Level
Communication frequency bands such as Q/V and Ka are adopted.
Transparent forwarding communication capability with 10Gbps rate.
The height of running track is 1200 kilometers.
A single star can cover 300 thousand square kilometers
It is equivalent to the area of 50 Shanghai cities.
Start with this starting star
China has taken the first step in the journey of 5G "space communication"
The 5G era has kicked off
However, the coverage of the global network still faces great challenges.
It is difficult for ground base stations to cover desert, ocean and other areas.
Low orbit broadband communication satellite can solve the problem of global network coverage and access.
Scenes such as brushing short videos and making video calls on the plane.
Will become a future within reach.
The "online celebrity" rocket that was screened by the track cloud.
Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket
It is the first launch vehicle in China’s fast boat series to be put on the market.
Specially tailored for 300 kg low orbit small satellites.
A small rocket for commercial launch.
Last year, it "exploded overnight"
On the evening of December 7, 2019
A dragon-shaped cloud appeared in the sky in Beijing.
A circle of friends "photo contest" quickly opened.
Netizens in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and other places have exposed "the same cloud"
Subsequently, @ Meteorology Beijing @ China Weather @ Aerospace Science and Technology "claimed":
"This is the track cloud left by the launch of the Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket."
How fast is the "fast boat"?
↑ Poke the video to see how fast the "fast boat" is.
Whether it is the performance period or the launch time.
"Kuaizhou" is the fastest record holder among many launch vehicles in China.
In 2019, "Fast Boat" set a record for the shortest launch interval of the same type of rocket at the same launch site.
At 11: 40 on November 13, 2019
The Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket is at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
Launch the "Jilin No.1" high-scoring satellite 02A into space.
At 18: 00 on November 17,
The Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket was successfully launched in Jiuquan again.
It wasn’t long before "Kuaizhou" set a new record for itself.
At 10: 55 and 16: 52 on December 7, 2019,
Fast boat No.1 A carrier rocket will be launched in 6 hours.
Complete two space launches at the same launch site.
Created a new record for China’s space flight
The speed of "fast boat" is worthy of the name!
Why is "Fast Boat" so fast?
At present, the fast boat series launch vehicles all use solid propellant.
The rocket leaves the factory with solid propellant.
The process and corresponding time of propellant filling at the launch site are saved.
In addition, the "fast boat" avoids the dependence of traditional rockets on the launch tower.
The requirements for launching site support are further reduced.
The launch can be completed with a launch vehicle.
In the past, large launch vehicles were launched.
From assembly to injection of liquid fuel
It takes hundreds of people to cooperate and takes at least two months.
The fast boat rocket can reach the launch site and complete the launch.
It only takes 7 days.
On the day of launch, it was transferred from the technical area to the launch area to complete the launch.
The whole launch area process takes less than 4 hours.
Of course, such a "fast boat" is not enough.
↑ Commercial spectrum of Kuaizhou series launch vehicles
In order to continue to reduce the cost of going into space
In 2020, the clipper rocket initially planned five to eight space launch missions.
Model development
The "Kuaizhou Family" is carrying out the Kuaizhou-1 B carrier rocket.
And the development of Kuaizhou 11 carrier rocket.
Compared with the previous friends
The carrying capacity of Kuaizhou 11 carrier rocket has made a qualitative leap.
The takeoff mass can reach 80 tons.
It is more than twice that of the Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket.
You can put a limited load of 1.5 tons
Sent to a near-earth orbit about 350 kilometers farthest from the earth.
With the continuous improvement of the type spectrum of the fast boat launch vehicle
China’s space high-density networking/complementary network launch capability will also be further improved.
future
The fast boat will also expand from low rail to high rail.
And gradually into deep space.
Send "blessing" to heaven
Such a hard-core way of greeting the New Year.
Love, love.
Like China Aerospace!
