One Arrow Samsung was a complete success, long two Ding 2020 seven-fight seven-jet.
Shanghai Aerospace Today.
August 23, 2020.
Long March 2 Ding carrier rocket.
Ignition at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
Successfully will be high score 9 05 stars and two carrying stars.
Into a predetermined orbit.
The launch was a complete success.
This is the seventh launch of the Long March II Ding carrier rocket this year.
The Long March 2 Ding carrier rocket (hereinafter referred to as the Chang Erding rocket) used in this launch is a normal-temperature liquid secondary launch vehicle developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd., with a take-off thrust of about 300 tons, corresponding to 700 km of solar synchronous circular orbit carrying capacity of 1.2 tons, with different orbit requirements of single-star, multi-star launch capability. High score 9 05 star by the five houses of space Oriental Red Satellite Co. , Ltd. to grasp the total development.
On the basis of high reliability, changed two Ding rocket has a strong environmental adaptability and thoughtful service guarantee, can be in the country's three major satellite launch centers to carry out tasks, regardless of wind, summer, autumn and winter, to provide satellites with a comfortable ground environment, flight environment.
This launch, the rocket is facing the challenge of summer high temperature environment: some rocket products or ground test equipment, especially precision equipment for environmental protection temperature requirements are high, model team item by item combing product protection requirements and measures to ensure that each single-machine environmental protection conditions meet the requirements; Put forward reasonable storage temperature control requirements, coordinate the launch center to ensure propellant filling temperature, the whole process of controlling the parking temperature, to ensure that the launch on time; In 2021, the Chang'e Ding rocket will also fully implement the image measurement system, the rocket flight segment observation will be more intuitive.
Since May 2020, the Chang'e Ding rocket has carried out five rocket launches in a row. Long two Ding rocket created 60 days of five-fight five-jet, 40 days off-site 4 rounds, 30 days in the same place two consecutive launch records, such as a record, this one thanks to the model team's early planning, early advance. As early as 2017, the model from the hardware miniaturization, automation, intelligence, high reliability and other aspects of technological innovation and upgrading, at the same time, the management of continuous process optimization, staffing streamlined and effective, so that "compact progress, standards do not decrease", the annual launch of several rockets during the launch site did not occur quality problems, strict quality control effectively ensure the smooth progress of the process. At present, the eight hospitals have set up a full-time launch site survey team, for the eight hospitals rapid response, quality and quantity to complete intensive launch missions to provide more professional personnel protection.
The main star of the launch is the high-score 905 star, mainly used in land census, urban planning, crop assessment and disaster prevention and mitigation and other fields.
The launch was the 51st launch of the Chang'e Ding rocket, the 121st flight test of the Long March series of launch vehicles developed by the eight hospitals, and the 343rd launch of the Long March series of launch vehicles. -
