At 4:13 am on May 30, the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, the Long March 11 solid launch vehicle, successfully launched the new technology test satellites G and H in a “one arrow, two stars” way. Successfully entered the scheduled track, the mission was a complete success. In the second half of this year, the Long March 11 launch vehicle will also The land launch site and the sea carried out multiple launch missions. At the same time, the Long March 11A solid launch vehicle with greater carrying capacity will also be fully developed.


Three “firsts” —make rockets more adaptable

Changzheng 11 was developed by China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology of Aerospace Science and Technology Group It is the only solid launch vehicle in the Long March series of launch vehicles and can be launched at different launch sites, at sea, and on land. The rocket has a total length of nearly 21 meters, weighs 58 tons, and has a take-off thrust of 120 tons. It is compatible with two fairings of 2 meters and 1.6 meters, and can send a 500 kg payload into a 500 km solar synchronous orbit. First launch at Xichang Satellite Launch Center

Following the land launch from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and the sea launch from Haiyang, Shandong, the Long March 11 carrier rocket was launched for the first time at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center The mission, taking full advantage of the geographical latitude and altitude of the launch site, completed the joint training and first flight mission in a relatively short period of time, fully verifying the strong environmental adaptability of the launch vehicle.


First use of a 2-meter diameter fairing

This mission uses a 2-meter-diameter fairing for the first time, providing more space for satellites, Better meet the needs of multi-satellite launch. The two satellites launched in this series are arranged in series. For the first time, an internal support structure was designed on the solid launch vehicle to isolate the fairing from the “loft structure”, which can provide a good “living environment” and “ride experience” for the satellite.


First timeLaunched with a new information-based launch platform

The new launch platform used in this mission is highly integrated and highly intelligent, with independent implementation The launch capability further reduces the launch site support requirements. The launch point can be flexibly selected, which greatly enhances the orbit adaptability of the land launch and improves the safety of the rocket landing zone. The use of an intelligent test system has greatly shortened the launch preparation time, and the rapid launch capability has reached a higher level.

“This launch fully verified the adaptability of the Chang 11 rocket to the launch mission and the ability to diversify the launch, and the rocket will continue to enhance the entire land and sea area The launch capability will transform the Chang 11 rocket into the most adaptable carrier rocket in China. “Said Peng Kunya, chief designer of the Long March 11 rocket.


Tax transcript: nine consecutive times! 39 satellites! Zero errors!

Since the first flight in September 2015, the Chang 11 rocket has successfully sent 39 satellites into space nine times in a row, with 9 consecutive high accuracy Into orbit, 9 consecutive zero-on-arrow quality problems, and 9 consecutive zero-window launches on time, fully demonstrated the rocket’s excellent high reliability, mission adaptability, and diverse launch capabilities.

On September 25, 2015, the Long March 11 Yaoyi Rocket, “One Arrow, Four Stars” will have one “Pujiang One” and three “Shanghai Science and Technology University” The “No. 2” satellite was accurately sent into a solar synchronous orbit at a height of 481 kilometers, filling the gap of China’s solid launch vehicle.

On November 10, 2016, the Long March 11 Yao-2 rocket at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center accurately sent a pulsar test satellite into the Sun at a height of 500 kilometers Synchronize tracks.

On January 19, 2018, the Long March 11th Yao three rockets at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center sent the “Jilin One” video 07 stars and video 08 stars into The synchronous orbit of the sun at an altitude of 535 kilometers. Long March 11 Yao three rocket launch

Long March 11 Rocket III Rocket Launch On April 26, 2018, the Long March 11 Rocket Rocket 4 was launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.”Five Arrows” will send 1 second-generation video micro-nano satellite (OVS-2) and four second-generation hyperspectral micro-nano satellites (OHS-2) of the 02 group of the “Zhuhai One” constellation Solar synchronous orbit. Long March 11 Yao four rocket launch < p class = "image_desc"> Long March 11 Yao four rocket launch On December 22, 2018, the Long March 11 Yao 5 rocket launched the first low-orbit broadband of the “Hongyun Project” at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center The communication technology test satellite sent into a solar synchronous orbit at an altitude of about 1,000 kilometers.

On January 21, 2019, the Long March 11 Yao-6 rocket was successfully launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center Send the 01 stars, 02 stars and 2 carrying stars of the “Jilin One” spectrum into the scheduled orbits.

June 5, 2019, Long March 11th sea shot The successful launch of the launch vehicle technology test satellite catches the first A, B star and 5 commercial satellites. This is the first time China has carried out the launch vehicle launch technology test at sea. = “600” src = “https://imagecloud.thepaper.cn/thepaper/image/70/4/48.jpg”>

Long March 11 Sea Launch Carrier Launch On September 19, 2019, the Long March 11 Yaoqi Launch Vehicle successfully delivered five satellites of the “Zhuhai One” 03 group into the scheduled orbit in the “One Arrow, Five Stars” method at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
< div class = "contheight"> On May 30, 2020, the Long March 11 Yao-8 carrier rocket successfully launched two new technology test satellites into the scheduled orbit at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. Long March 11 solid The launch vehicle was successfully launched for the first time at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center.


Rocket launch price is only one-third of the international mainstream launch price

At present, Chang 11 rocket has become the most practical carrying capacity Commercial rockets have truly achieved commercial launches in the market. In the future, the development team will also develop a new rocket on the existing basis, with a carrying capacity of 2 tons.

” The greater the carrying capacity, the lower the cost per unit weight of payload into space, and the better the economy of the rocket, “said Li Tongyu, chief commander of the Long March 11 launch vehicle.
< div class = "contheight"> The launch price of the rocket is only one-third of the international mainstream launch price. It has a strong international competitive advantage and can provide exclusive and customized services for various types of payloads to develop the Chinese Long March rocket. A broader commercial market.
