At 09:00 on December 25, 2023, my country used the Kuaizhou-1A solid launch vehicle at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to occultate 11 stars in the Tianmu-1 detection constellation (Tongxiang Zhenshi) in the “one arrow and four stars” method ), 12 stars (Tongxiang Tongkun), 13 stars (Tongxiang Xinfengming), and 14 stars (Tongxiang Nezha Vehicle) were sent into the predetermined orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.
The Tianmu-1 constellation of 11, 12, 13, and 14 stars was developed by the China Aerospace Science and Industry System Company. It is mainly used to obtain information on global atmospheric environment elements. After the constellation is completed, it can achieve all-weather global ocean, atmosphere, and ionosphere monitoring. Three-dimensional and integrated business detection.
The Kuaizhou-1A rocket that performed this launch mission is a small solid launch vehicle launched by China Aerospace Science and Industry Rocket Technology Co., Ltd. It mainly provides launch services for 300kg low-orbit small satellites and has high flight reliability. , high orbit insertion accuracy, short preparation period, less support requirements, and low launch cost.
Supporting the development of commercial aerospace through naming can not only provide financial support for my country’s commercial aerospace industry, but also bring better brand effects to enterprises.
Tongkun said: In more than 40 years of development, Tongkun’s green manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing levels have been at the forefront of the industry. Today’s Tongkun polyester filament has gone from basic livelihood applications to covering a wide range of “sea, land and air” field, entering more high-precision application scenarios: military blankets with spectral heating, antibacterial, flame retardant and other functions, diving suits for deep sea diving, antibacterial fabrics in space shuttle cabins, etc. are all made of Tongkun filament become.
The space dream is a national dream and a dream for each of us. Tongkun has always been caring about his country and people’s livelihood, serving the country through industry in a down-to-earth manner, looking up to the stars and dreaming of aerospace. In the future, Tongkun will continue to firmly base itself on its main business, deepen its industry, and expand its industries. While achieving its own high-quality development, Tongkun will also contribute Tongkun’s strength to support the motherland’s aerospace industry!
Xinfengming said: As a leading enterprise in Tongxiang, Xinfengming will concentrate its efforts to build a star, make its main business more refined, better and stronger, and steadily and courageously move towards the healthy development of sustainable management. road, contributing to the great rejuvenation of China’s national chemical fiber! At the same time, the “Tongxiang Xinfengming” satellite carries the dream of nearly 20,000 Xinfengming people to strengthen the country through chemical fiber. With the ambition of Tongxiang enterprises to continuously climb, it soars into the sky, soars into the sky, and heads for the broader stars. The sea looks forward to a better future!
Why does the chemical fiber giant want to name the launch of satellites?
Since the kick-off of domestic commercial aerospace in 2015, a large number of new business models have emerged in the aerospace field. Among them, commercial satellite naming has been favored by customers because of its large influence, wide audience and fast dissemination.
At one time, a customer received a reply from a satellite company, “There are no satellites that can be named.” Although the factor of rocket scheduling is not ruled out, this also proves the popularity of satellite naming to a certain extent.
This time, Tongkun and Xinfengming supported the development of commercial aerospace in the form of naming, which not only provides financial support for my country’s commercial aerospace industry, but also brings better brand effects to the enterprise.
So, how much does it cost to name a satellite?
“According to the market price, the naming fee for a satellite is several million yuan.” A person in charge of satellite launches revealed.
In March 2023, a Chinese private company’s 1U CubeSat “Rubik’s Cube” was sold in a live broadcast room of an anchor. The original price of the star + launch service was 2 million, but after a discount of 1 million, you can have it. Eventually, an anonymous buyer snapped the satellite.
Taking into account factors such as destination distance, cargo size and weight, launch quotes for different types of commercial rockets vary. For example, for the reusable Falcon 9 rocket, the public quotations for low-Earth orbit and geostationary transfer orbit launch services are approximately RMB 26,000/kg and RMB 78,000/kg (2022 data). Customers can purchase directly from spaceX or on the secondary market.
The domestic “Kuaizhou-1” rocket launch service with a payload of 300kg was once sold in a live broadcast room of an anchor for 40 million yuan, which is equivalent to about 133,000 yuan per kilogram.
You can also recharge your membership by buying rockets. The Long March 11 launch vehicle announced the launch of a membership card and points system in 2017, saying that it can obtain commercial launch services at a preferential price. The larger the quota, the greater the discount. Buyers who have purchased can also earn points, and after reaching a certain number of points, they can also enjoy preferential prices.
