Comparing with the manned spacecraft engineering, it requires more reliability , larger scale, and more funds. On the basis of China’s achievements and the experiences of foreign countries, the paper brings forward the idea that using the existing transportation technology to send the launch vehicles and cosmonauts to the near-earth orbit in batches, assembling the components together on the space-launch platform, and then launching them to the moon to fulfill our dream of manned landing on the moon. The paper also discusses the space launch platform and the launching ways.展开更多

The satellite will be used for a variety of applications including scientific experiments, land resources survey, crop yield estimation, disaster prevention and alleviation. The satellite was developed by DFH Satellite Co., Ltd.. The rocket for the mission was developed by the SAST. This was the 17th launch in 2012展开更多

Falling satellite manufacturing and launch costs have opened the door to new players to enter the market, disrupting the status quo. HTS and constellations have entered the market and will lead to a lot more capacity at a lower price. But how this capacity will be optimally distributed remains a significant challenge. Earth Observation(EO) and Big Data are also areas of interest that are gaining grounds thanks to projects of 100 s if not 1,000 s of satellites that will have a lasting effect on manufacturing and launch markets.展开更多

This paper also analyzes the launch strategies for small satellites such as piggyback, networking launch, and single launch with a small launch vehicle(SLV). Finally, the development trend of reusable launch vehicles is discussed as well as the development prospects for China's reusable launch vehicle.展开更多
