The Jet Dragon 3 solid carrier rocket made its maiden flight and successfully launched 14 satellites.

CTOnews.com, December 9, according to our space release, 14:35 on December 9, 2022, China's Taiyuan Satellite launch Center successfully put 14 satellites, including Jilin-1 high score 03D47-50 satellite and Dongpo 08-10 satellite, into the scheduled orbit using the Jielong 3 telescope carrier rocket in the Yellow Sea, using the method of "one arrow and 14 stars." the launch mission was a complete success.

CTOnews.com learned that the Jet Dragon 3 solid carrier rocket was developed by the Rocket Institute. This mission is the first flight of the Jet Dragon 3 carrier rocket.

The complete success of this mission marks the further improvement of the type spectrum of China's carrier rockets and the great progress made in the serialization of China's solid launch vehicles.

According to the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, the Jet Dragon 3 carrier rocket has a total length of 31.8 meters, a maximum diameter of 2.65 meters, a takeoff mass of 140 tons, and a 500-kilometer sun synchronous orbit carrying capacity of 1.5 tons, supporting rapid land-based and sea launches. The rocket has a fairing with a diameter of 2.9 meters and a diameter of 3.35 meters, has a high performance-to-price ratio and applicability, and has the launch capability of "20 stars with one arrow". The comprehensive launch cost is currently the best in China, and the satellite and arrow technical preparation and launch can be completed within a week. It can provide reliable, convenient and economical exclusive launch, timing and orbit launch and carrying services for domestic and foreign commercial satellite users' constellation networking, patching and load verification.
