At 00:43 on December 30, accompanied by a roar from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, the Long March 3B carrier rocket ignited and lifted off, successfully sending the communication technology test satellite 9 into the predetermined orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.
So far, the 2021 space launch mission of China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd. has come to a successful end, and we have handed over an impressive report card to the party and the country with the record of 48 space launches in the whole year.
2021 is a milestone year in the history of the party and the country, the Communist Party of China ushered in the centenary of the anniversary, the beginning of a new journey towards the second centenary goal. This year, the Aerospace Science and Technology Group launched the "super mode", the annual number of launches reached the highest in history "40+" for the first time, the launch success rate was 100%, and hundreds of spacecraft (including carrying) were sent into space, laying a solid foundation for China to accelerate the construction of a space power. At the same time, China's annual number of space launches reached 55, ranking first in the world.
The communication technology test satellite No. 9 launched this time was developed by the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group, and is mainly used to carry out multi-band and high-speed satellite communication technology verification.
The Long March 3B carrier rocket for this mission was developed by the First Academy of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group.
2021 has been an extraordinary year. With the steady improvement of the country's comprehensive strength, the frequent successes of China's major aerospace projects, the successive appearance of new carrier rockets, and the Aerospace Science and Technology Group has entered the fast lane of development, and has taken advantage of the momentum and repeatedly created brilliant achievements in the peak state in the opening year of the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan".
On March 12, China's new generation of medium-sized high-orbit liquid carrier rocket Long March 7 A carrier rocket successfully launched the test No. 9 satellite, marking the addition of new members to China's new generation of medium carrier rocket family. The geosynchronous transfer orbit carrying capacity of the Changqi A rocket is not less than 7 tons, filling the gap in China's high-orbit carrying capacity.
On April 29, the Long March 5B carrier rocket soared into the sky, accurately sending the first spacecraft and core module of the Chinese space station into the predetermined orbit, and the first battle of the orbit construction mission of China's manned space station was successful.
On May 29 and September 20, the Long March 7 carrier rocket sent the Tianzhou-2 and Tianzhou-3 cargo spacecraft into the intended orbit, respectively. This is a key battle for the construction of China's space station to carry forward the past and the future, and it is also a battle for China to move from a space power to a space power.
On June 17, the Long March 2F carrier rocket successfully sent the Shenzhou XII manned spacecraft on which Chinese astronauts Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming, and Tang Hongbo were riding into space, and they successfully entered the Chinese space station as the first "visitors" to the Chinese space station. On October 16, the Long March 2F carrier rocket successfully sent the Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft on which Chinese astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu were riding into space, and they began a six-month space work and life, and the Chinese space station began an era of long-term residence.
On October 14, the Long March 2 Ding carrier rocket successfully sent China's first solar exploration satellite "Xihe" into the scheduled orbit, and China officially entered the "era of sun exploration".
On December 10, the Long March 4B carrier rocket successfully launched the Shijian No. 6 05 group satellite, and China's Long March series carrier rocket successfully completed the 400th launch.
This mission is the 405th launch of the Long March series of carrier rockets.
2021 came to a successful conclusion
2022 goes on
China Aerospace
The future can be expected
