Original title: new record of China's successful launch of 'one arrow, six stars, kuaizhou-1' and 'double arrows a day'
At 16:52 on December 7, 2019, China successfully launched the hede-2 A / b satellite, Tianyi 16 / 17 satellite, and tianqi-4 A / b satellite by using the kuaizhou-1a carrier rocket in Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center at 16:52 on December 7, 2019. The satellite successfully entered the scheduled orbit and the mission was successful.
'hede-2' A / b satellite is the first batch of operational satellites of Skywalker constellation. It is independently designed and developed by Beijing Hede Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. It mainly provides environmental awareness, material supervision, emergency communication enhancement, global ship and aircraft information collection and other services for global users.
Tianyi 16 / 17 satellite is a medium resolution micro nano remote sensing satellite independently developed by Changsha Tianyi space science and Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd. its comprehensive performance index has reached the international advanced level of similar satellites. It is mainly used for disaster emergency monitoring, marine and maritime applications, agricultural remote sensing services, polar environment monitoring and other satellite data applications.
Tianqi-4 A / b satellite is a low orbit Internet of things satellite developed and produced by Beijing Guodian high tech technology Co., Ltd. after the satellite is put into orbit, it will realize 5-star networking operation, and provide global Internet of things data transmission and emergency communication, material tracking and situation awareness services for the government, industry and other users.
Kuaizhou-1a launch vehicle is a small solid launch vehicle developed by Aerospace Science and industry Rocket Technology Co., Ltd., which belongs to aerospace Sanjiang group of China Aerospace Science and Industry Group Co., Ltd. It adopts international general interface and mainly provides launch service for low orbit small satellites. It has the characteristics of high orbit precision, short preparation period and low launch cost. This is the fifth launch mission of kuaizhou-1a carrier rocket this year.
This is also the first time that China successfully launched the same type of rocket twice in the same launch site on the same day. At 10:55 this morning, the kuaizhou-1a carrier rocket successfully launched the 'jilin-1' Gaofen 02B satellite from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center.
