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?

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.

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

Tianjin Ren'ai University's "Ren'ai University" meteorological satellite was successfully launched into space

Recently, the "Ren'ai College" meteorological satellite was successfully launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu. "Ren'ai College" is the first satellite launched by a private college in Tianjin. It is reported that the satellite will be mainly used for "air-space-ground integration" meteorological element detection in the future.

In recent years, the School of Civil Engineering of Tianjin Ren'ai College has continued to explore and practice in the field of disaster prevention and mitigation. Meteorological satellite detection data will be integrated into the classroom and professional teaching. The research results will be applied to precipitation monitoring, water body monitoring, drought monitoring, climate change research and other related fields in the future. Li Liang, dean of the School of Civil Engineering, said that the "Ren'ai College" satellite data will be used in the teaching of courses such as hydropower planning, engineering monitoring and detection. Satellite detection data will provide support for the research direction of the college's disaster prevention and mitigation team to shift from "passive disaster reduction" to "active disaster prevention". Satellite monitoring data can improve the technical content and intelligence level of disaster prevention and control, and provide scientific decision-making for disaster prevention and mitigation more timely and accurately.

With the school's own satellite, it will also play a role in promoting the school's scientific research work. Li Liang introduced that the college established an engineering disaster prevention and mitigation research team at the beginning of this year, which includes new building materials, structural safety monitoring and evaluation, lifeline engineering disaster resistance and other fields. All of them carry out scientific research around disaster prevention and mitigation, especially the Water Conservancy and Hydropower Teaching and Research Section, which has been deeply engaged in the detection and maintenance of dams based on the advantageous resources of Tianjin University. Previous research mainly focused on passive response to disasters, specifically, where the problem occurred and then studied the solution. For example, cracks appear in the structure. Is the cause of the cracks due to material drying and shrinkage or structural stress, or other reasons? After finding out the cause, targeted reinforcement and repair will be carried out. Now that we have our own satellite, we can intuitively see the relevant changes such as water level and meteorology through the data collected daily, so the research team can conduct research and prediction before problems occur, actively prevent the occurrence of related problems, and intervene in advance to reduce losses. The direction of research has changed from passive disaster prevention and mitigation to active disaster prevention and mitigation, which is an important change brought by satellites to scientific research.

In September 2021, the company settled in Hefei, located in Hefei Shushan Economic Development Zone. It is a national high-tech enterprise, a national science and technology-based small and medium-sized enterprise, Anhui Province's specialized and new small and medium-sized enterprises, Anhui Province's innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, and Hefei's key industrial chain enterprises.

"We are deeply engaged in the two core technology routes of resin-based and ceramic-based, focusing on the three major application directions of national defense, aviation, and aerospace." The company's technical director introduced that the company has domestic advanced technology levels in aircraft composite material structure design, composite material process manufacturing, and ultra-high temperature thermal protection material research and development and application. It is the second private enterprise in China to master the full process capabilities of rocket composite fairings. In November 2024, the company's first set of reusable liquid rocket thermal protection products in China passed the test.

At present, the company's talent team has 4 high-level talents recognized by Hefei City, 6 doctors, and 12 expert committees. The company has more than 200 employees, including more than 70 technicians.

The company's first phase production area is 12,000 square meters, and the second phase production area is 40,000 square meters, which can simultaneously meet the development and mass production of various types of product parts. As of now, the company's maximum production capacity can achieve an annual output of 300 tons of composite materials and 200,000 metal machined parts, including more than 100 sets of aviation composite material equipment and mechanical processing equipment.

In response to the recycling requirements generally raised by rocket companies, Monks Aerospace has now signed a contract with a commercial rocket company to jointly promote the research and development and testing of liquid rocket heat shields. The initial goal is to achieve three times of reuse, and the number will be gradually increased in the future, thereby reducing the frequency of replacement of rocket thermal protection products and directly helping partners reduce launch costs.

In the newly developed aviation sector, Monks Aviation has already provided a certain drone company with all-composite drone products, further expanding its market presence.

In May last year, Monx Aviation announced that it had completed a round A financing of tens of millions of RMB, with investors including several government-guided funds.

"Monkex Aviation" plans to launch a new round of financing in the second quarter of this year, mainly focusing on R&D upgrades and capacity expansion of the aerospace sector. When talking about long-term goals, Li Yi and his team plan to build a complete industrial chain covering material research and development, component manufacturing to system integration, enhance brand influence and international competitiveness, and promote the development of commercial aerospace industry.

Their only private LSP partnership listed on their site was with Galactic Energy, based on their announcement and inventory picture, it seems likely they'll provide fairings for some future Ceres-1 launches and may be involved in the development of the Pallas-1's aft heat shield

Congratulations! Astro Boy Robot was successfully launched, and China's commercial aerospace intelligence cross-border shines in the sky

At 19:07 on March 21, 2025, Beijing time, the Astro Boy Robot Satellite was successfully launched on the Ceres-1 (Yao 17) launch vehicle (hereinafter referred to as "Yao 17")!

With the roar of the Yao 17 launch vehicle resounding through the sky, the Astro Boy Robot Satellite (Yunyao Meteorological Constellation 47) and five other meteorological space remote sensing satellites soared into space at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. This is the first time that Yunyao Aerospace, a commercial aerospace company, has joined hands with a leading industrial robot company for strategic collaboration, which indicates that the deep integration of artificial intelligence equipment and space exploration technology has taken a key step.
I founf it that Yunyao-1 47 named Atongmu Jiqiren (阿童木机器人号).

Tianjin private college's first satellite "Ren'ai College" was successfully launched
The one of paylods is named Renai Xueyuan (仁爱学院号).

That should mean that Renai Xueyuan is either Yunyao 1-43, 45 or 46. Any new news to confirm?
