steve9728 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 CZ-8 rocket has arrived Wenchang Space Center from the Tianjin harbor. It will be launched at February to March and it will be this new generation rocket’s first launch this year. I can’t find anything about what payload would it take. https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/CJPStJOCQzKcH-ubpy_JFw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found something and they are the 40 satellites from private space companies: Changguang(长光)'s high resolution remote sensing satellite × 10; Minospace(微纳星空)'s satellite 5+2 (The seven satellites of this mission include 0.5m resolution optical satellite, 1m resolution radar remote sensing satellite, Hainan-1 01 group of four satellites, and XD-1, which was developed by Minospace, with a cumulative weight of nearly 1t); 22 satellites from 8 companies including ADA Space (国星宇航); Tianxian Xingzuo (天仙星座, Cassiopeia) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite × 1. The launch date is tentatively set for 27 February. Introducing the essence of Chinese private space companies: private capital investment, with CNSA and CNSIA as technical leads. In a way if CNSA and CNSIA are seen as a computer game, then these companies are the DLCs. (The information is not totally reliable, but it is better than can't finding out anything at all) https://weibo.com/6816184673/LbMfp4KeN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The impact speed was 3.3 km/s, and the rear portion of the pentagons was thrown back at probably 1+ km/s. So, they could survive. Actually, there were two such balls, 150 mm and 90 mm, on the upper stage and in the craft itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve9728 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYXsoYN-4Cs A summary of Chinese spaceflight in 2021 and an outlook for the future in 2022 by two guys who must be totally understand Chinese. I'm quite optimistic about the future of Chinese private space companies in the remote sensing and communication satellites, but manned spacecraft... Well put it bluntly, I don't expect anything on it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve9728 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Tsinghua University has successfully tested their new aspirated supercombustion ram engine. “The test mission was carried out by a two-stage rocket boosted by the "Qing Hang-Daxing". After the separation of the first stage rocket, the second stage rocket pushed the mission section engine to a predetermined altitude and speed. The engine intake achieved high efficiency suction, the fuel supply system atomised the aviation paraffin into the combustion chamber, the ignition system started smoothly, the combustion chamber entered the intended combustion state, the engine worked stably and obtained continuous thrust, and the test was a complete success.” "This test at Tsinghua University achieved 'efficient suction in the engine intake tract', which means that the technology verification has been successful and will soon enter the engineering verification stage."

It works for cleaning up junk and messing with other nation's satellites. It's perfectly fine to point that out... As for the last question, I guess "nobody's".

steve9728 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Shenzhou-13 crew celebrate Chinese New Year in Tianhe Space Station On January 31, Chinese New Year's Eve, the Shenzhou-13 crew sent a special video from the distant space to send their blessing to the motherland and her people. Commander Zhai Zhigang, holding a copulet, said, "I wish everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year." Wang Yaping, dressed in a festive costume, wished children all over the country "As lively and spirited as a dragon and a tiger" and our great motherland "prosperity and prosperity". Ye Guangfu, holding the word "fortune", wished all the people of China "a happy New Year and a happy family". Meanwhile, Tianwen -1 sends back a set of 'selfie videos' from Mars orbit to wish the Chinese people a happy Chinese New Year And CNSA release videos of the Tianwen-1's Mars capture process "The 'selfie stick' is made of a special shape-memory composite material and is folded up before launch; once in Mars orbit, the folded part is heated to a certain temperature and the 'selfie stick' gradually returns to its straightened state. With a mass of only 0.8 kg and a length of 1.6 m when unfolded, the 'selfie stick' is able to perform various monitoring tasks effectively with the camera mounted on its end."

JoeSchmuckatelli Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 The 'public relations' coolness of the Chinese inclusion of a self-monitoring camera is noteworthy. I wonder if (even though it doesn't add to the 'science') follow on missions from other nations will include such 'look at me' stuff - taking a page from their playbook. Ultimately, showing the public what they're getting for the money is beneficial. (I note the recent 'why we don't have a Go-Pro on Webb' articles - but for the next Mars insertion? Having a camera that can capture parts of the Seven Minutes of Terror would be cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
