Who sent 9 satellites into space at the same time?

What everyone is most concerned about in the past two days is the launch of our Tianhe core module. The official choice has not yet been clearly stated at which time of the two days, but it is obviously long-awaited for the Chinese people. After all, the launch of the core module and the The launch of the cargo spacecraft in May and the launch of the manned spacecraft in June will be docked in the future space battle, and our 3 astronauts will enter the space station in the future, and they will stay for at least 4 to 5 months, which is It is unprecedented, so for the Chinese people, this year's China Aerospace is destined to be an extraordinary year! Of course, whether it is the launch of the core module, the launch of a cargo spacecraft or the launch of a manned spacecraft, it all depends on the launch vehicle, and we obviously have to rely on the Long March series of rockets to complete it! And when we are all looking forward to the launch of the core module, we saw that the Russian carrier rocket completed the feat of 36 stars on the 26th, which is really admirable!

On the 26th local time, the "Soyuz-2.1b" carrier rocket carrying 36 satellites of the British company OneWeb was launched from the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia. In order to send all the satellites into the predetermined point, the upper stage engine of the rocket needs to start the thrusters twice and carry out 9 separations. Each separated part will use its own thruster to enter its own orbit. The satellite was injected into the transfer orbit at an altitude of 450 kilometers, and 36 satellites were successfully launched. You must know that there are not many countries that can achieve the feat of 36 satellites in one arrow, and the Russian rocket just executed one arrow last month. The 36-star launch mission is very mature! When we are envious of others, who would have thought that just one day later, we saw the Long March rocket bringing us good news again. We never thought that before the launch of the core module, our Long March 6 carrier rocket achieved 9 stars with one arrow The feat is really gratifying!

At 11:20 on April 27, Beijing time, a carrier rocket was successfully launched at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. This launch mission is about our Long March 6 carrier rocket. Many people are not unfamiliar with this carrier rocket. No. 6 is a three-stage rocket with a carrying capacity of 500kg in a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 700km. The rocket has low cost, high reliability, strong adaptability and good safety. Many new technologies are applied for the first time in China, and it is very difficult to develop. The Long March 6 carrier rocket supports single-satellite launch, multi-satellite launch and carry-on launch. Through the "three-level" measurement and launch mode of horizontal overall testing, horizontal overall star-arrow docking, and horizontal overall transportation and erection, the rapid launch tasks of various spacecraft can be completed. Therefore, whether it is a single satellite or multiple satellites, the Long March 6 can be launched quickly and the efficiency is greatly improved, becoming one of the rockets we currently rely on the most!

The Long March-6 carrier rocket has the advantages of moderate carrying capacity, large fairing space, short delivery period, and supporting dedicated launch stations. It has successfully completed five launch missions. This mission is the 366th flight of the Long March series of launch vehicles. After the Long March 6 rocket was ignited, everything went very smoothly, and this time the Long March 6 rocket is obviously carrying a daunting task, which is to send 9 satellites into space at the same time. You must know that the number of 9 satellites is quite a lot. , the task is still very difficult! This time, the Long March 6 successfully sent three main stars, including Qilu-1, Qilu-4, and Foshan-1, into the predetermined orbit with the method of "one arrow and nine stars". The mission also carried and launched six satellites including Zhongan Guotong-1, Apocalypse Constellation 09, Yuanyuan Space NEO-1, Taijing-2 01, Jinzijing-1 and Lingque-1 D02.

The Qilu-1 and Qilu-4 satellites mainly provide remote sensing services for Shandong’s land, urban construction, agriculture, forestry, energy, disaster prevention and mitigation and other industries; Foshan-1 satellites mainly carry out satellite platform and integrated design, ultra-lightweight camera design, high Validation of resolution imaging techniques. The Zhongan Guotong-1 satellite launched on board is mainly used for real-time imaging observation satellite system technology verification; Apocalypse constellation 09 is mainly used for data collection and transmission services; Yuanyuan Space NEO-1 satellite is mainly used for small celestial observation and scientific research; Taijing-2 01 The satellites are mainly used to provide commercial remote sensing services; the Jinzijing-1 and Lingque-1 D02 satellites are mainly used to verify the remote sensing satellite platform technology. All 9 satellites were sent into the predetermined orbit. Although this feat is not as large as the 36 satellites just launched by Russia, it is already very great for us! With the successful launch of the Long March 6, we are about to launch the core module in the past two days, and the Chinese people are also looking forward to it. After all, the construction of this space station is unprecedented, and we look forward to this launch being a complete success!
