How many rockets will China launch this year? Which models are launched? On February 9, China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd. held the "Blue Book of China's Aerospace Science and Technology Activities (2021)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Blue Book") press conference in Beijing, revealing the answer. Liu Bing, deputy chief designer of the five B rockets, the first president of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, said that in 2022, the Long Five B rockets will launch the Wentian Experimental Module and the Dream Sky Experimental Module successively. At present, the Long March 5B Yaosan rocket has completed the final assembly survey, and the Long March 5B Yao-4 rocket is carrying out final assembly work. The development team will further optimize the process, improve the plan, and refine the operation to ensure the complete success of the space station construction task.
The reporter learned that in 2022, the "Tiangong" space station will be transferred to the construction stage, and a total of 6 manned space launches have been arranged, successively by the "Long March 7" Yaowu launched the "Tianzhou 4" cargo spacecraft, the "Long March 2F" Yao 14 launched the "Shenzhou 14" manned spacecraft, the "Long March 5B" Yaosan launched the "Qingtian" experimental module, the "Long March 5B" Yaosi launched "Dream Sky", the "Long March 7" Yao 6 launched "Tianzhou 5", "The Long March 2 F" Yao 15 launched "Shenzhou 15".
The new generation of manned carrier rockets will inherit the design standards and design genes of the highly reliable and high-safety manned carrier rockets of the Long March 2F rocket, and carry out a series of technical research in terms of fault detection, automated flight, and related redundant design. In the future, supporting larger tonnage spacecraft into space, so that astronauts into space, more convenient, faster, more comfortable, more safer. In addition to a new generation of manned carrier rockets, in order to meet the needs of future manned lunar exploration, deep space exploration and other missions, the First Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group is grasping the development of a heavy carrier rocket under development, which is expected to fly for the first time in 2028.
