Set off to space! The launch ceremony of Astro Boy Robot Satellite was successfully held

In the grand picture of scientific and technological development, another bright color is about to shine in the vast starry sky. Recently, the highly anticipated Astro Boy Robot Satellite departure ceremony was solemnly held in Changchun, marking its official journey to the Jiuquan Launch Center in China. It is expected to be officially launched on December 25.

As a unique occultation meteorological satellite, the Astro Boy Robot Satellite has many outstanding performances. Its unique detection mechanism is based on the inversion of GNSS signal refraction data. By accurately analyzing the subtle changes in the signal when it propagates in the atmosphere, it can obtain information on key elements of the atmosphere, including vertical gradient changes in temperature, distribution of humidity, hierarchical differences in air pressure, and dynamic data of electron density in the ionosphere. This process is like building an invisible detection bridge in the universe, connecting the satellite with the mystery of the earth's atmosphere.

The satellite has a short overall development cycle, high integration, light weight and small size. It is a vivid embodiment of the precision design concept of modern aerospace engineering. It contains powerful detection functions in a delicate manner. The core will be used in numerical weather forecasting, climate research and space weather monitoring. The application field is wide and strategic.

This cooperation is the first time that Astro Boy Robot, Changguang Satellite and Yunyao Aerospace have joined hands in the field of space application detection. The three parties have joined forces, driven by innovation, to explore the infinite possibilities of the integration of satellite technology and robotics technology. Looking to the future, Astro Boy Robot plans to further deepen its cooperation with Changguang Satellite and Yunyao Aerospace to carry out environmental verification projects for satellite platforms equipped with robotic arms in space. If this verification is successful, Astro Boy Robot will unlock more space application scenarios with the flexible operation and precise operation capabilities of the robotic arm in the space environment, and play a key role in satellite maintenance, construction of space experimental facilities, deep space exploration and other aspects. Its development prospects in the space field will surely be broader, and it is expected to become an important force in promoting the development of human space exploration.
The Atongmu Jiqiren (阿童木机器人号) will be launched in December 25 from Jiuquan, by Gushenxing-1/ZQ-2EY3/Liajin-1Y6?

Satellites 43 to 48 of the Yunyao meteorological constellation are equipped with a primary weather detection payload, namely the GNSS occultation detection payload. This payload can invert GNSS signal refraction data to obtain information on temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and ionospheric electron density, thus offering broad prospects and high application value in the field of meteorological observation.

Yunyao-1 satellites 43 to 48 are equipped with atmospheric and ionospheric detection, longwave infrared cameras, X-band tracking, control and data transmission, and other payloads, which are primarily used to obtain a variety of meteorological elements and space weather information.

The Yunyao meteorological constellation is a core project currently under construction by Tianjin Yunyao Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. The goal is to create a global constellation of 90 commercial meteorological satellites in orbit, forming a real-time detection system for the atmosphere and ionosphere on a global scale. This system will be used for global weather forecasting and various industrial sectors, providing real-time weather information to Belt and Road countries. To date, Galactic Energy has launched 22 Yunyao series satellites, accelerating the construction of the constellation.

This mission also carried the "Feitian Project" (heavenly flight) chip, jointly designed by Galactic Energy and the renowned pastry brand Yupinxuan. This chip, through Yupinxuan's cake reservation system, collected the wishes and blessings of 40,051 users, which were sent into space on the rocket, allowing these wishes to accompany the stars.

Beside "Vernal Ascent", this launcher is also named "Beijing Youth", as written on it. (https://news.bjd.com.cn/2025/03/21/90057470.shtml)

I think it was an AI translation that hallucinated a bit. Here's a Bing translation.

At 19:07 Beijing time on March 21, 2025, Galaxy Power Space successfully launched the Ceres-1 (Yao-17) carrier rocket (mission code: VERNAL ASCENT) from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre, successfully sending a total of 6 satellites of the Yunyao meteorological constellation 43-48 into a 535km sun-synchronous orbit. This is another complete success five days after the successful launch of Ceres-1 (Yao-10) on Monday.

The core meteorological detection payload carried by the six satellites of Yunyao Meteorological Constellation 43-48 is the GNSS occultation detection payload. The GNSS occultation payload can obtain atmospheric temperature, humidity, pressure and ionospheric electron density information by inverting the refraction data of GNSS signals, which has broad application prospects and application value in the field of meteorological observation.

Yunyao Meteorological Constellation is the core project under construction of Tianjin Yunyao Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd., with the goal of building a global network constellation of 90 commercial meteorological satellites in orbit, forming a real-time global atmosphere and ionospheric detection system, serving global weather forecasting and thousands of industries, and providing real-time meteorological forecast information for the "Belt and Road" countries. At present, Galaxy Power has launched 22 Yunyao series satellites, accelerating the construction of the satellite constellation network.

The mission was also equipped with the "Feitian Project" electronic chip jointly created by Galaxy Power and the well-known baking brand Yupinxuan. The chip collected the wishes and blessings of 40,051 users through the Yupinxuan cake reservation system, and went into space with the rocket, so that the blessings are with the stars.

As of today, Ceres-1 has successfully completed 18 launches and put 77 satellites into predetermined orbits, making it the commercial launch vehicle with the largest number of launches, the largest number of satellites launched and the highest success rate in the private space field, and continues to promote the development of China's commercial space industry.

The mission also received full-link communication support from Sina Weibo, a long-term strategic partner.

The "Fujing Tiance" satellite was successfully launched to pay tribute to World Meteorological Day

At 19:07 Beijing time on March 21, 2025, at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in my country, Ceres-1 (Yao-17) carrier rocket successfully launched "Fujing Tiance" with other five meteorological space remote sensing satellites (Yunyao meteorological constellation 43-48 satellites, "Fujing Tiance" is Yunyao meteorological constellation 44 satellite) and the satellites successfully entered the predetermined orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success. This launch is the third launch of Yunyao Aerospace in 2025. So far, Yunyao Aerospace has successfully launched 46 meteorological satellites.

The core meteorological detection payloads carried by the six meteorological remote sensing satellites launched this time are mainly GNSS occultation detection payloads. GNSS occultation detection payloads can obtain information on the temperature, humidity, pressure of the atmosphere and the electron density of the ionosphere by inverting the refraction data of GNSS signals.

Tianjin Yunyao Aerospace Technology is a high-tech enterprise with Fujing Tiance (Beijing) Technology Group as its founding shareholder. It is a high-tech enterprise specializing in meteorological satellite payload research and development, meteorological data collection, and meteorological application services. The company is positioned to build a comprehensive service platform integrating "global space meteorological data production" and "space meteorological data application promotion". It obtains global space meteorological data with high temporal and spatial resolution through low-orbit satellite networking. On the one hand, it provides data to users, and on the other hand, it processes the data in depth to provide customized and precise service products for industry users. The company will build a global networking constellation of 90 commercial meteorological satellites in orbit, forming a real-time global atmosphere and ionosphere detection system to serve global weather forecasts and thousands of industries, and provide "Belt and Road" countries with real-time weather forecast information better than 20 minutes, further enhancing my country's international influence in the field of meteorological services.

The theme of this year's World Meteorological Day is "Closing the Early Warning Gap Together". This theme aims to promote the development of global meteorological services through international cooperation and technical support, ensure that the public can obtain early warning information in a timely manner, and reduce the risks brought by natural disasters and climate change. The theme emphasizes the key role of early warning systems in disaster prevention and mitigation, such as improving the coverage and response efficiency of meteorological services through progressive warning, precise "call-response" mechanism and other scientific and technological means.

The construction of the Yunyao meteorological constellation and the launch of the Fujing Tiance satellite will provide a large amount of high-value data to improve the global space weather monitoring capabilities, help improve the global meteorological service level, and are important data and technical support for "jointly narrowing the early warning gap".
The Yunyao-1 44 is named Fujing Tiance (富景天策号).

I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and summarized text from a couple other sources

For this paragraph, it comes from https://weibo.com/5658451754/PjBK2Cs5Y ; I could not find mentions other mentions of it for this particular group of satellite but it was reported for the previous batch a few days ago:  https://www.srrc.org.cn/article34572.aspx  ; these reports dated from 24-72h after the launch so maybe we'll see the same for this one to confirm or not.

The final paragraph comes from https://www.stdaily.com/web/gdxw/2025-03/21/content_313025.html
