China has successfully launched the test 20C satellite

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen grass Luo Yuzi for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, 29 October, according to the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, 09:01 today, the long March 2d carrier rocket blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite launch Center, and then put the test 20C satellite into the scheduled orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.

The test No. 20 C satellite is mainly used for on-orbit verification tests of new technologies such as space environment monitoring. CTOnews.com learned that this launch is the 445th launch of the long March series of carrier rockets and the 12th launch of the Chang Erding rocket this year.

The China Aerospace Science and Technology Group said that the Chang Erding rocket is an ordinary temperature liquid two-stage carrier rocket developed by the eighth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd., with a take-off thrust of about 300 tons, corresponding to a 700 km sun synchronous orbit carrying capacity of 1.3 tons. It has the ability to launch single and multi-satellite with different orbital requirements in the three major satellite launch centers of Jiuquan, Xichang and Taiyuan.

According to reports, the orbit requirements of this mission are high and the weight of the satellite is heavy. The Chang Erding rocket carried out multi-wheel simulation tests on the trajectory design and double-checked the landing area to minimize the scope of the landing area. The attitude control engine system was cancelled and the attitude was adjusted by a two-stage tourist machine to reduce the weight of the rocket and further improve its carrying capacity.
