On January 4, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation held a 2022 model work conference in Beijing. Xu Qiang, general manager of China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd. and deputy secretary of the party group, deployed the scientific research and production tasks in 2022 in the model work report.
China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd. plans to arrange more than 40 space launch missions in 2022, and will complete 6 major missions of manned spaceflight, including two cargo spacecraft, two Shenzhou spacecraft and experimental module I. and experimental module II launches, as well as docking at orbital fairs, outgoing capsule activities and spacecraft return missions, and fully build a space station; complete the first flight mission of the Long March 6A carrier rocket.
The report pointed out that the annual model scientific research and production tasks present four major characteristics: First, the major engineering tasks are very arduous, and the number of launch flight tests continues to maintain a high level; second, the model technology is difficult to tackle, and the technical risk identification and control requirements are high; the third is that the pressure of model batch production delivery is large, and the task of transformation and upgrading of scientific research and production is heavy; fourth, the systematic development of equipment is high, and the system work needs to be promoted as a whole.
China's space launches in 2021 reached 55 times, ranking first in the world. Among them, China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd. completed 48 space launches in 2021, and it is also the first time that the number of launches in history has reached the highest "40+" in history, with a launch success rate of 100%, sending hundreds of (including onboard) spacecraft into space.
