The following article lists a SAST built payload is going through processing at Xichang. http://www.sitp.cas.cn/xwzx/zhxw/202108/t20210803_6150988.htmlQuoteRecently, the launch test team of a certain model at the satellite launch base Shanghai Institute of Science and Technology has completed product self-testing and satellite-mounted testing, and all functions of the payload are normal. The satellite is about to be transferred to the launch area, and the test team is making the final sprint for the payload to be launched into orbit with the satellite. Deputy Secretary Tong Weiqi came to the launch center to make preparations with the test team members, and encouraged everyone to be careful and careful, strictly control the quality, and make new contributions to the dream of aerospace power! At the satellite launch base, under the witness of Deputy Secretary Tong Weiqi, the first branch of the aircraft and the security software branch jointly carried out a joint construction activity of "Thoughtful organization and implementation to ensure complete success". The daily work of the two branches is for model tasks. Do a good job of management and service guarantee. Secretary Weng Dongshan of the First Division of the Engineering Department and Secretary Zhang Yuquan of the Tiaobao Software Branch conducted in-depth exchanges and discussions on how to ensure the development of major model tasks between the two branches. The test team members of the Third Engineering Division participated in the activities. Through the joint branch building activities, we will not forget the original aspirations of strengthening the country, keep in mind the mission of flying to the sky, base ourselves on their posts, give full play to the pioneering and exemplary role of party members, work around the center of the institute, ensure the complete success of major model tasks, and let the party flag fly high in the front line of major aerospace projects!
