Hello space:<\/p>\n
This is the fifth sea launch of Ceres-1, maintaining a 100% success rate. It is also the sixth launch of networking satellites for the “Apocalypse Constellation”. At this point, the first phase of my country\u2019s first low-orbit IoT communication constellation has been fully completed. <\/p>\n
3. The coordinated test run of the Yue Zhan No. 1 auxiliary power system was a complete success<\/p>\n
Recently, the auxiliary power system developed for the Yue Zhan 1 liquid launch vehicle successfully completed the overall coordination test run assessment, fully verifying the technical feasibility and product reliability of the auxiliary power system, and officially entered the mass production stage.<\/p>\n
Hello space:<\/p>\n
The complete success of this test run shows that the auxiliary power system independently developed by Dahang Yuanjian has met the engineering application requirements and has the technical conditions to deliver flight missions. As one of the key subsystems of the liquid launch vehicle, the auxiliary power system plays an important role in ensuring the execution of the entire rocket mission.<\/p>\n
4. Deep Blue Aerospace Wuxi assembly base was officially put into operation<\/p>\n
Recently, the DeepBlue Aerospace Headquarters and Liquid Rocket Assembly Base were officially opened in Xinwu District, Wuxi City. The base covers an area of \u200b\u200b75.2 acres, with a construction area of \u200b\u200b20,800 square meters. In the future, it will undertake the final assembly and integration tasks of the “Nebula-1” liquid oxygen and kerosene recyclable launch vehicle.<\/p>\n
Hello space:<\/p>\n
The official commissioning of the base marks Deep Blue Aerospace\u2019s transition from technology research and development to large-scale production. According to the plan, the annual production capacity of the base will reach 10 rockets and 100 engines after full production, which will significantly improve Deep Blue Aerospace\u2019s product delivery and market response speed.<\/p>\n
5. Aurora Starcom completed A++ round of financing exceeding 100 million yuan<\/p>\n

Recently, Xinhui Kongtian announced the completion of tens of millions of yuan in Pre-A round financing, jointly invested by Xiaomiao Langcheng and Tongchuang Weiye. This financing will be mainly used to increase investment in research and development, expand personnel, and strengthen infrastructure construction such as laboratories.<\/p>\n
Hello space:<\/p>\n
This round of financing marks a key step for Xinhui Aerospace in the start-up stage of commercial aerospace. Its self-developed electric servo system is promoting the iterative upgrade of lightweight and modular technology. Once mature applications are realized in the future, it is expected to improve development efficiency and reduce costs.<\/p>\n
7. China Unicom\u2019s satellite technology company was established<\/p>\n
On May 19, Digital Intelligence (Shandong) Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. was established with a registered capital of 100 million yuan. Its main business is satellite technology comprehensive application system integration. It is wholly owned by China Unicom Hangmei Network Co., Ltd.<\/p>\n
Hello space:<\/p>\n
Previously, China Unicom had launched the \u201cUnicom Satellite\u201d business on its official APP. The establishment of the company may leverage the resource advantages of China Unicom and its affiliated companies in the communications field to further promote the comprehensive application of satellite technology in multiple scenarios.<\/p>\n

SpaceX Starship\u2019s ninth test flight approved<\/p>\n
On May 22, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officially approved SpaceX\u2019s ninth orbital-level test flight of Starship. According to the latest regulatory filings, the no-fly zone for this flight was expanded to 1,600 nautical miles, the launch window was set at off-peak hours, and SpaceX was required to purchase liability insurance totaling $500 million.<\/p>\n
Hello space:<\/p>\n
The approval of the Starship’s ninth test flight reflects the FAA’s recognition of SpaceX’s rectification results and also marks another key step in its advancement of heavy-duty reusable launch systems. However, the FAA’s more stringent safety and environmental requirements this time also reflect the regulator’s reassessment of the risk of this test flight failure, believing that the probability is higher than before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
