When is the first flight of Long March 6

Sihai network: at 12:50 on November 21, the Long March 6 tele2 rocket was launched in Taiyuan Satellite and launched. It carried out the launch mission of Jilin 1 video 04-06 satellite in the form of "one arrow, three stars" and achieved a complete success. This launch is the second of the Long March 6 and the 255th of China's long march series launch vehicles. At the same time, it is also the first time that China's new generation of liquid launch vehicles participate in commercial launch.

As early as September 20, 2015, the first Long March 6 launch vehicle successfully put 20 satellites into the predetermined orbit, creating a new record of one rocket and multi satellite launch in China, and also becoming the first launch of a new generation of launch vehicles in China, marking the application of China's launch vehicles into the new era.

After the success of the first flight of Long March 6, affirmation and praise came one after another. If it is the first time to start a business to grind one arrow in seven years, then to strive for commercial space launch after success is "second business". "As a new generation of launch vehicles, the first consideration in the development process is the breakthrough of key technologies and the pursuit of the first flight success. After success, we must consider profits and development, so we took the initiative to visit customers, introduce Chang Liu, and run all the customers of commercial aerospace that have the possibility of cooperation. "Said Zhang Weidong, commander in chief and chief designer of Long March 6.

Long March 6 is 29.3 meters long, a three-stage configuration, with a first-stage diameter of 3.35 meters, a second and third-stage diameter of 2.25 meters, and a maximum diameter of 3.35 meters. The carrying capacity of the 700 km sun synchronous orbit is 1 ton. Long March 6 has the characteristics and advantages of new liquid oxygen kerosene power system, higher safety and reliability, low cost and short period launch, which attract the attention of commercial aerospace customers. The launch mission of "Jilin No.1" video 04-06 satellite is the cooperation intention reached after the team's active visit.

In China's new generation of launch vehicles, Long March 6 is the first one to participate in commercial launch. Subsequently, Long March 6 has one to two launch missions every year. The team has also built an upgraded version of the rocket with stronger capability and better adaptability on the basis of Long March 6, which will greatly enhance the launch capacity.
