At 14:50 on December 27, the Tianmu-1 occultation meteorological detection constellation (hereinafter referred to as the "Tianmu Constellation") 19 satellites (Xiyong Microelectric Park No. 3 satellite (Gui'an 01 star (Gui'an 02 star) developed by Shenzhen Rubik's Cube Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. were successfully launched by the Kuaizhou-1A Y27 carrier rocket in the form of "one arrow and four satellites". Four satellites entered the predetermined orbit, completed the deployment of solar wings, the establishment of ground attitude and the start-up of payloads in orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.
This is also a new member of the "Shenzhen-made" satellite after the fourth batch of satellites 11-14 of the Tianmu constellation were put into the scheduled orbit through the method of "one arrow and four satellites" on December 25.
According to reports, the four satellites launched this time belong to the Beidou GNSS remote sensing detection satellite, which is the fifth batch of networking satellites of the Tianmu constellation, which is mainly used to obtain information on environmental elements such as the global ionosphere, sea surface wind field and thermosphere atmosphere, and realize the three-dimensional and integrated detection of the global all-weather ocean, atmosphere and ionosphere. The construction of this meteorological constellation aims to achieve high-quality global meteorological data acquisition and promote the development of the national economy empowered by spatial information technology.
Since the beginning of this year, the Tianmu constellation has completed the launch of four batches of a total of 14 satellites, and the 19-22 satellites launched this time are the fifth batch of satellites, which will be networked with the previous 14 satellites to achieve 18 satellites in orbit.
This series of satellites are all developed by Rubik's Cube satellites, and rapid production is achieved through automated production line mode. It is reported that the products of the platform on the satellite are all made of industrial-grade components, which have strong inheritance. Among them, the typical product solar array is the mass production of the satellite power system automation production line built by Rubik's Cube Satellite, which has an annual production capacity of 200 sets of satellite power products, and has been supporting more than 40 satellites.
Based on the rapid matching of satellite core components and mass production of satellites, the R&D team completed the development, launch and in-orbit deployment of 10 satellites in the previous six months, and refreshed the record again this time, completing two consecutive launches of 8 satellites in 2 days, realizing the delivery of low-cost, short-cycle, and fast-response satellites with good data consistency, and further consolidating the intelligent manufacturing capabilities of industrialized microsatellites in Shenzhen.
