China's Kuaizhou-1A and Long March-2D launched from Jiuquan and Xichang respectively
September 06, 2022 China Successfully launches two rockets within 115 minutes, The Kuaizhou -1A and Long March - 2D respectively from Jiuquan and Xichang Satellite Launch Center.
Kuaizhou - 1A launched two experimental satellites
On September 6, 2022 at 02:24 UTC (10:24 Beijing), the Kuaizhou-1A launch vehicle with two experimental satellites CentiSpace-1 (S3 and S4) was launched from pad No. 43/95B of the Jiuquan SLC, the launch was successful, the spacecraft were launched into the specified orbits.
The CentiSpace-1 series satellites, developed by the Microsatellite Innovation Academy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, are owned by Beijing-based Future Navigation. The main task of the devices weighing 97 kg is to test navigation technologies and inter-satellite laser communications.
The current launch was the 17th launch for the Kuaizhou-1A series launch vehicles.
Long March-2D launched triplet of Remote sensing satellites
On September 6, 2022, at 04:19 UTC (12:19 Beijing), the Long March-2D (Y67) launch vehicle with the fifth group of Yaogan-35 satellites was launched from site No. 3 of the Xichang SLC.
The satellites A/B/C of the 05 group of Yaogan-35 are mainly used in scientific experiments, land and resources census, agricultural product yield estimation and disaster prevention and mitigation. Star A and Star B were developed by the Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, and Star C was developed by the Eighth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
ChangZheng rocket carries out space debris mitigation technology verification
The biggest innovation of this Long March rocket is the use of a 25-square-meter deorbit sail for the upper load compartment to actively deorbit. This is the first systematic and large-scale space debris increase in the world. hinder implementation. At present, the secondary de-orbit sails carried by the three rockets that have been launched have successfully carried out the verification of space debris mitigation technology in orbit. Among them, the off-orbit sail of the Long March-2D Y64 rocket has been in orbit for more than 3 months, and has achieved remarkable results. The orbital decay rate of the upper payload module is three times faster than that of last year's LM-2D Y-63 mission without the off-orbit sail. In the future, the Chang Zheng rocket will also implement a variety of space debris mitigation technology verification.
The Long March 2D carrier rocket is a hypergolic liquid two-stage carrier rocket developed by the Eighth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. This launch is the 436th launch of the Long March series of launch vehicles and the 36th Orbital launch of 2022 from China.
