1. Zhuque-3 is expected to start final assembly in the first half of this year<\/p>\n
Recently, the main structure capping of the No. 101 final assembly and testing plant and the No. 201 comprehensive office building of Blue Arrow Aerospace Wuxi Industrial Base has been completed. It is expected that the final assembly work of Zhuque 3 will be officially launched in the first half of this year.<\/p>\n
Hello space:<\/p>\n
The start of final assembly of Zhuque-3 means that its reusable rocket body technology has entered the engineering verification stage.<\/p>\n
The final assembly plant can be delivered ahead of schedule, leaving a sufficient window period for a series of subsequent ground tests, static ignition and recovery tests, ensuring that Suzaku-3 will make its first flight in 2025 as planned.<\/p>\n

2. Galaxy Power Rocket Final Assembly Base Settled in Nanjing<\/p>\n
On February 25, the Galaxy Power Rocket Assembly Base was settled in Nanjing with a total investment of 2 billion yuan. It covers the launch vehicle assembly workshop, segment assembly workshop, comprehensive test workshop, launch vehicle storage and transportation center, comprehensive support center and other facilities. After completion, it can meet the annual production capacity of 10 “Plasma II”<\/p>\n
Final assembly requirements for series rockets.<\/p>\n
Hello space:<\/p>\n
The completion of the Nanjing rocket assembly base has put the mass production of the “Pallas 2” series of rockets on the fast track. Based on Pallas 1, Pallas 2 adopts a CBC bundling configuration, and its LEO transport capacity has increased significantly from 8t to 30t, which can meet high transport capacity needs such as large-scale constellation networking. At the same time, Pallas 1 of this series has entered the countdown to its first flight and is about to carry out its first flight in the first quarter. Its flight data will also provide key engineering parameter support for Pallas 2.<\/p>\n

3. Interstellar Glory rocket production headquarters base settled in Shuangliu<\/p>\n
On February 21, the Interstellar Glory rocket production headquarters base was settled in Shuangliu District, Chengdu. The project has a total investment of 3.3 billion yuan and is used to produce its independently developed Hyperbolic 3 launch vehicle. After completion, it will have the production supporting capacity to produce 20 Hyperbolic 3 rockets per year.<\/p>\n
Hello space:<\/p>\n
Star Glory chose Shuangliu District as its strategic layout point, fully considering the cluster advantages of Chengdu\u2019s aerospace industry and the policy support of the local government. But at the moment, technical verification is the key issue that Interstellar Glory needs to break through. If the Hyperbolic 3 rocket planned to fly for the first time at the end of the year can be successfully launched, it will be possible to reverse the crisis of trust caused by Hyperbolic 1’s 7 expeditions and 4 failures, and it is expected to return to the “first echelon” of private rocket companies.<\/p>\n

4. The second phase of the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site project has entered the full implementation stage<\/p>\n
On February 24, a centralized signing ceremony for the construction contractors of the second phase of the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site was held at the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site, marking that the project has entered the full implementation stage. This time, 8 sub-projects were signed. At present, the No. 3 launch station of the second phase has entered the piling stage, and the No. 4 launch station is carrying out foundation pit excavation and water-stop curtain construction. It is expected to start foundation surface construction at the end of April.<\/p>\n
Hello space:<\/p>\n
The newly added liquid rocket launch stations will significantly increase the annual launch capacity of the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site, effectively alleviate the current shortage of stations dedicated to private rocket launches in my country, and will also speed up the networking process of low-orbit satellite Internet constellations such as “StarNet” and “Qianfan”.<\/p>\n

5. Longyun engine vacuum version completed thousand-second hot test test<\/p>\n
Recently, the Longyun engine vacuum version (LY-70V) completed the cumulative thousand-second hot test run assessment, and the series test run was a complete success!<\/p>\n
Hello space:<\/p>\n
This test run verified the rationality of the design of the vacuum version of the Longyun engine, the large-area ratio nozzle technology and product reliability, and the adaptability of the vacuum engine to dual subcooled propellants, laying the foundation for deep space orbit change and multiple ignition reuse. Combined with Jiuzhou Cloud Arrow\u2019s plan to launch product delivery around the first flight of the Long March 12A in 2025, this assessment will provide strong support for the rocket\u2019s first flight.<\/p>\n

6. Four-Dimensional Gaojing-1 03 and 04 satellites were launched into space<\/p>\n
On February 27, the Siwei Gaojing-1 satellites 03 and 04 were launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in a one-rocket dual-satellite manner using a Long March 2C rocket. The satellites accurately entered the planned orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.<\/p>\n
Hello space:<\/p>\n
4D Gaojing No. 1 03 and 04 stars are<\/p>\n
The commercial remote sensing satellite with the highest spatial resolution and geometric accuracy in my country<\/p>\n
. It has an ultra-high-resolution imaging capability of better than 0.5 meters. It is equipped with a magnetic levitation anti-shake camera and dual super technology. It is like a self-contained “space gimbal” that can correct jitter and temperature deformation in real time, and can achieve 5-meter-level precise positioning without ground calibration. This combination not only enhances my country’s autonomy in high-precision remote sensing data, but also provides “space-grade high-definition maps” for areas such as smart transportation and carbon-neutral monitoring, making satellite technology more grounded.<\/p>\n

7. The world\u2019s first 5G non-terrestrial network test was successful<\/p>\n
On February 25, French satellite company Eutelsat, in collaboration with MediaTek and Airbus, successfully completed the world’s first 5G-Advanced NR-NTN in-orbit connection using OneWeb630 LEO satellites.<\/p>\n
Hello space:<\/p>\n
This test marks that 5G technology has officially entered the era of “interconnection between heaven and earth”. For the first time, it has realized 5G two-way communication between mobile phones and low-orbit satellites. In the future, users can use their mobile phones to directly connect to satellites to access the Internet even in places that cannot be covered by traditional networks, without the need for additional equipment. This will not only fill the coverage blind spots of ground base stations, but may also promote the implementation of new scenarios such as the Internet of Things and the Internet of Vehicles, and even change the high-cost business model of traditional satellite communications. However, large-scale commercial use still needs to solve problems such as terminal chip integration and tariff pricing.<\/p>\n

Blue Origin’s “New Shepard” completes 10th manned flight<\/p>\n
On February 25, the “New Shepard” spacecraft of the American company Blue Origin completed its 10th manned space flight, carrying six people on a 10-minute suborbital space trip.<\/p>\n
Hello space:<\/p>\n
This launch is the rocket\u2019s first<\/p>\n
30 times<\/p>\n
Flights, so far, have sent 52 people over the 100-kilometer Karmen Line. Although the ticket price has not been announced, based on Virgin Galactic\u2019s price of $600,000, the threshold for commercial space travel is still very high.<\/p>\n

9. The EU imposes comprehensive sanctions on H&G Aerospace<\/p>\n
On February 24, in the 16th round of sanctions against Russia, the EU imposed “comprehensive sanctions” for the first time on Chinese aerospace companies and German Aerospace Industries and its chairman Zhou Dachuang, including travel bans, asset freezes, financial bans and export controls. The reason for the accusation is that Hede Aerospace provided high-resolution terrain data and satellite services to the Russian army and “indirectly undermined the territorial integrity of Ukraine.”<\/p>\n
Hello space:<\/p>\n
This wave of EU sanctions is purely “unwarranted”. my country has implemented strict controls on the export of dual-use items. However, the EU has forcibly linked civilian technology such as satellite maps to military uses. It can only be said that “technology has no borders, but politics always likes to add drama.”<\/p>\n
