Six satellites in one rocket, the "made in Guangzhou" rocket completed its seventh flightInterface News reporter | Zhang Xilong[...]Shi Xiaoning, vice president of China Aerospace and chief designer of Force Arrow No. 1, told Jiemian News that in order to better match the international launch market with higher flexibility, Force Arrow No. 1 adopted technologies and innovative models such as de-tasking design of satellite-rocket interfaces, rolling backup batch production and backup launch, and remote one-button unattended launch.China Aerospace has established the Conghua Liquid Propulsion System Test Center in Conghua District, Guangzhou. This is the first 400-ton liquid power system test center in China. After the completion of the project, it will accelerate the development of high-thrust liquid engines and breakthroughs in recyclable technology. A person related to China Science and Space told Jiemian News that the center has completed construction and entered the stage of obtaining engine test certificates.In addition to rocket launches, Guangzhou is making up for the shortcomings in other aspects of the commercial aerospace field. For example, in the field of satellite operation and manufacturing, Guangzhou has introduced companies such as China Science and Space and Galaxy Power.The Xingrui 11 satellite carrying the Lijian-1 Yao-7 was developed by China Science and Space and Hunan Saidlet Space Technology Co., Ltd. This remote sensing satellite has the characteristics of lightweight, miniaturization, and advanced payload technical indicators. It uses a 0.5m resolution full-color multi-spectral camera as its main payload and is mainly used for in-orbit earth observation.China Science and Space plans to establish a satellite manufacturing base in Guangzhou. Lei Bin, chairman of China Science and Space, told Jiemian News that the factory is currently adjusting the plan and will enter the construction stage in the next step, which is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The planned production capacity of the first phase of the factory is to produce 100 to 150 satellites per year.Xingrui 11 is the company's third-generation 0.5-meter resolution optical imaging satellite. Lei Bin mentioned that this will also be the main product produced by the Guangzhou base. The weight of the satellite is only half of the previous generation, but the cost is less than one-third of the previous generation.According to data from the Guangzhou Investment and Development Commission, Guangzhou currently has nearly a thousand aerospace-related companies, including Geely Aerospace, Haige Communications, Southern Satellite Navigation, Chengxing Communications, etc.[...]As satellites enter a high-density launch phase, as the holder of the record for launching multiple satellites in a single launch by civilian rockets, China Aerospace Science and Technology is working hard to control costs. At present, the launch cost of Lijian-1 per kilogram of payload has been reduced to less than 10,000 US dollars.Cost is a major bottleneck in the aerospace industry, and the realization of recycling technology means accelerating the rise to profitability. Take SpaceX as an example, the launch cost of its reusable "Falcon 9" satellite is only about 20,000 yuan per kilogram."We generally believe that the reuse of rockets is the most effective means to reduce the cost of orbital entry. Previously, China's orbital entry price was one-third of that of traditional American industries such as Boeing, but Musk has achieved one-third or even less of ours. Low-cost orbital entry has greatly increased the launch efficiency, allowing satellites to be launched in large-scale networking, and the quantitative change of satellites has led to qualitative changes." Yang Yiqiang said.Lijian-1 is looking for a balance between reducing costs and improving performance in multiple launches.Shi Xiaoning said that through measures such as large fairing envelope, continuous optimization of carrying capacity, and optimization of multi-satellite separation control schemes, the application launch requirements of more than 50 stars in a single launch can be met. In the future, Lijian-1 will realize the closed loop of R&D design, production and manufacturing, and application launch through an independent and controllable supply chain system, integrated construction of assembly and test plants and launch stations, and expansion of sea launch capabilities. In the future, it is expected to reduce the cost per kilogram of payload to less than 50,000 yuan.To further reduce the launch cost, it is necessary to realize the recovery and reuse of low-cost large liquid rockets.At present, the Lijian-2 liquid carrier rocket has completed the full-load erection test, the launch support system has successfully completed the full-load commissioning, and the relevant design indicators have been verified. It is planned to make its first flight in September this year to launch the prototype test spacecraft of the Qingzhou cargo spacecraft for the manned space engineering space station. In the future, it will become the main rocket for my country's large-scale constellation networking and low-cost cargo transportation of space stations.Lei Bin analyzed that the breakthrough value of liquid rockets for the industry is reflected in two aspects. One is to reform the existing supply chain to avoid the situation where multiple links are restricted; the other is to reduce costs."The price of the one-time use of Lijian-2 is 30,000 yuan per kilogram. The goal is to achieve reuse in 2026-2027, and the price can be reduced to 10,000 yuan per kilogram." Yang Yiqiang mentioned.
