qilu.com lightning news, september 24th. on the morning of september 24th, in the waters near haiyang city, shandong province, the jielong-3 yao-4 carrier rocket, which is about 31.8 meters long and weighs about 140 tons, developed by the china academy of launch vehicle technology, was erected on the launch ship "dongfang spaceport". as the ignition command was issued, the jielong-3 carrier rocket burst into flames, and in a "space carpooling" manner, eight satellites including tianyi-41 and xingshidai-15 were sent into a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 500 kilometers. the 13th sea launch mission of haiyang was a complete success.
the vastness of space inspires people to pursue their dreams of flying. at the lianli island viewing area and the wanmi golden beach, 2.8 kilometers away from the rocket launch site, as the countdown ended, tens of thousands of tourists followed the trajectory of the flames, and the roar of tearing through the sky and the cheers of the scene resounded across the sea and sky. "the rocket carries our yearning for the unknown universe. i am so excited to witness the rocket launch with my own eyes." tourist mr. zhang said that he didn't realize that he had already burst into tears until the tail flame gradually dissipated.
"this is the first time that the jielong-3 yao-4 carrier rocket has carried out a sun-synchronous orbit mission near lianli island." zhang hua, deputy general manager of oriental spaceport group, introduced that among the eight satellites launched this time, tianyan-15 is a technical test satellite developed by haiyang local enterprise final frontier (shandong) aerospace technology co., ltd., which will be mainly used for the verification of optical image data acquisition and processing technology for earth observation.
it is reported that in order to ensure the safety of the landing area, the large yaw technology was used in this launch. the model has been iterated and recalculated many times in the design of the trajectory plan, and relevant experts have been organized to review and confirm the plan. the feasibility of launching a sun-synchronous orbit at this point has been successfully verified, and the mission adaptability and launch economy of the jielong-3 rocket at sea have been greatly improved.
as the only offshore launch port in my country that has both production and manufacturing and launch conditions, haiyang oriental spaceport aims at the goal of "a world-class commercial space offshore launch port and a national-level aerospace information industry park". since 2019, it has successively ensured the completion of 13 launch missions, including the first domestic offshore launch, the first offshore commercial application launch, the first "one-stop" offshore launch, and the first offshore launch of a domestic private rocket. a total of 75 satellites have been sent into space, and a standardized offshore launch guarantee mechanism has been formed, with initial capabilities for normalized offshore launches.
chasing the dream of space travel, reaching for the stars together. “chasing” rockets also brings together space enthusiasts from all over the world in the coastal city of haiyang.
"after running the marathon and watching the rocket launch again, we hope to let our children feel the charm of aerospace technology from a first-hand perspective and constantly inspire their growth with the spirit of aerospace." before watching the rocket launch, wang li and her family from qingdao had checked in at the aerospace science museum of the oriental spaceport command and control center in advance and experienced a thrilling interstellar journey.
with the help of highly scarce unique resources such as offshore launches and aerospace industry clusters, haiyang connects with the national tourist resort and interacts with the launch mother port functions. in accordance with the overall planning idea of "surrounding the bay, relying on the island, and connecting the beaches", it has created a national aerospace science popularization and research base for primary and secondary school students and a domestic leading commercial aerospace cultural and tourism complex. it actively organizes aerospace development forums and aerospace competition activities, and is committed to forming an aerospace cultural and tourism ip system and aerospace cultural and tourism brand that integrates science, education, entertainment, leisure and vacation, and business incubation.
with the launch at sea as the driving force, haiyang has seized the important opportunity of the inclusion of space internet in the national new infrastructure over the past five years, and promoted the high-quality development of the region through the demonstration and guidance of high-end industries, thus opening the road to the development of commercial aerospace. the local area has attracted 23 aerospace industry projects with a total investment of about 27.3 billion yuan, initially forming a high-quality development trend with multiple breakthroughs and comprehensive efforts in the launch chain, rocket chain, satellite chain, and cultural tourism chain.
in the future, focusing on the core capabilities of "sea launch support, rocket assembly and testing, and aerospace information services", haiyang will strive to cultivate my country's first commercial aerospace high-tech industrial cluster driven by sea launch and with a full industrial chain layout, accelerate the formation of new quality productivity in commercial aerospace, and contribute more "haiyang strength" to the high-quality development of my country's commercial aerospace.
