The satellite developed by teachers and students of the Experimental School Affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Sciences will be launched in the spring of 2025On December 10, the naming activity of the scientific education satellite was launched at the Experimental School Affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Sciences after coordination and approval by the International Amateur Radio Union of IAPU. Students, teachers and parents who were shortlisted can go to the launch site to watch the launch ceremony.On the same day, the Beijing News reporter learned at the "Consolidating the Foundation of Scientific Education and Comprehensively Improving the Quality of Education-Beijing Science Education Practice and Exploration Seminar" held by the school that in the "Satellite Engineering Theory and Application" class opened in August this year, the first batch of 5 high school students had the honor to participate in the assembly of this scientific education satellite and learn about satellite-related knowledge. The satellite is expected to be launched in Jiuquan Aerospace City in the spring of 2025."I have issued a naming initiative to all teachers, students and parents in the school. Please give this satellite in front of us a loud and distinctive name, and accompany it to travel in space." At the ceremony, Ren Li, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Experimental School Affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said. She introduced that the orbital altitude of this scientific education satellite is 520 kilometers, the satellite mass is 31 kilograms, and the orbital accuracy is 97.4 degrees. We hope to collect a concise, catchy and catchy name that can reflect the characteristics and culture of the school, rather than simply naming it "Zhongke" or "Zhongke Fu". The school will also issue a "namer certificate" to the name proposer.According to reports, this "Science Education Satellite" is a theoretical learning and operation practice platform jointly developed by the Experimental School Affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and aerospace experts to cooperate with the construction of the "Astronomy and Space" course of the school's top innovation base, and undertakes the teaching and practice tasks of the "Satellite Engineering Theory and Practice" course. Under the guidance of aerospace experts, the school's physics teachers and astronomy teachers led students to participate in the research and development work in depth. On the morning of December 10, students Shi Zi'ao and Lai Ziyi who participated in the assembly also came to the event site holding the Yagi antenna model they made. Now the two have been promoted to the second year of high school. For the experience of participating in the satellite production this time, they said that "I feel honored and have experienced the hardships of scientific research work.""At the beginning, I really couldn't understand some theoretical courses, especially the knowledge related to attitude orbit control. The main lecturer continued to extend the relevant content on the second and third days, trying to make us understand." Lai Ziyi said with a smile. The students introduced that this was a learning and practice project carried out in the summer. Through self-registration and testing, many students gave up in the early stage. In the end, 5 students stood out. In just seven days of training, from theoretical classes to disassembly, research, and assembly of satellites, everyone had a deep understanding of the structure and working principle of satellites. "From the assembly of each circuit board and each component to the final formation of a satellite as a whole and the reception of satellite signals, we found that scientific research is really not simple. We have to use our brains and use our wisdom to discover the world." Shi Zi'ao said.Lu Jianwei, principal of the Experimental School Affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, introduced that launching a satellite is a reflection of a country's comprehensive strength, and in science it is manifested as multidisciplinary collaborative operations. The school has made a lot of efforts and done a lot of work for this in the early stage. "Starting from 2023, we have linked various departments to promote this work. We have combined basic theory courses with engineering courses, including newly compiled textbooks. Three chief designers, two professors and many engineers have participated in helping children carry out learning and practice together."
