Mission
Hainan-1 to 4 & others
- Type: Earth Science
- Orbit: Sun-Synchronous Orbit
Carried 22 satellites to sun-synchronous orbit on a share-ride mission, including the Hainan-1 satellites.
Location
201
Wenchang Space Launch Site, People's Republic of China
201 has witnessed the launch of 23 rockets, including 23 orbital launch attempts. While Wenchang Space Launch Site, People's Republic of China, has been the site for 39 rocket launches.
The Wenchang Space Launch Site is a rocket launch site located in Wenchang on the island of Hainan, in China.
Formally a suborbital test center, it currently serves as China's southernmost spaceport. The site was selected for its low latitude, 19° north of the equator, allowing for larger payloads to be launched. It is capable of launching the Long March 5, the heaviest Chinese rocket. Unlike launch facilities on the mainland, Wenchang uses its seaport for deliveries.
Rocket
China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Long March 8 (Core Only)
Long March 8 (Chinese: 长征八号运载火箭) is an orbital launch vehicle developed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology to launch up to 5000 kg to a 700 km altitude Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO).
The "Core Only" is based on the Long March 7 with its first stage, along with the existing liquid hydrogen burning 3rd stage of the Long March 3A/3B/3C and 7A as its 2nd stage. This version can lift 3000 kg to a 700 km altitude SSO.
Agency
China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation
The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) is the main contractor for the Chinese space program. It is state-owned and has a number of subordinate entities which design, develop and manufacture a range of spacecraft, launch vehicles, strategic and tactical missile systems, and ground equipment. It was officially established in July 1999 as part of a Chinese government reform drive, having previously been one part of the former China Aerospace Corporation. Various incarnations of the program date back to 1956.
Good luck with this one CASC.
Perfect launch conditions we guess there will be no launch video footage never mind and all the very best for a successful launch .
A quote from the late great Albert Einstein:
‘Weak people revenge,
strong people forgive,
intelligent people ignore”.
