Semi-Cryogenic in all stages.




Is this separate from the one that was recently announced in Central China, possibly for a HGV test?

i think so, this one happen today, and maybe the sixth test of such kind of ...the third of this year. last time august.

hi my chinese friends!
can anyone of you provide the official specs of CZ5 rocket?this design seems vastly different from any of their previous rockets! does it use ordinary liquid engines or semi-cryogenic/cryogenic engines in main core stage?
thanks in advance!

China Exclusive: China plans to launch dark matter probe
English.news.cn 2015-05-30 14:55:21



SHANGHAI, May 30 (Xinhua) -- Chinese scientists are planning to launch a dark matter probe satellite by the end of this year, researchers with the project announced on Friday.

The dark matter particle explorer (DAMPE) satellite will observe the direction, energy and electric charge of high-energy particles in space in search of dark matter, said Chang Jin, chief scientist of the project, at a press briefing held by the Shanghai Engineering Center for Microsatellites (SECM).

All key components of the satellite have been tested and are functioning well, and it is expected to launch from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center by the end of this year, the SECM said.

The satellite is designed to function for three years.

The probe, the first satellite in a program consisting of five research satellites, will also be used to study the origin of cosmic rays and observe high-energy gamma rays.

At the press briefing, Chang said DAMPE will have the widest observation spectrum and highest energy resolution of any dark matter probe in the world.

Dark matter is one of the most important mysteries of physics. Scientists believe in its existence based on the law of universal gravitation, but have never directly detected it.

Accounting for over a quarter of the universe's mass-energy balance, it can only be observed indirectly through its interaction with visible matter.

Many scientists, such as Nobel prize winner in physics Yang Zhenning, believe that development of dark matter theory may help people understand phenomena that can't be explained with current knowledge, triggering "revolutionary progress" in physics.

The space study program also plans to launch three more satellites within the next two years, including one retrievable scientific research satellite, one for quantum science experiments, as well as a hard X-ray telescope for black hole and neutron star studies.

SECM is a non-profit organization established by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Shanghai Municipal Government.

Beidou Navigation Satellite completes in-orbit test
November 26, 2015

A new round of testing has been conducted on the Beidou Satellite Navigational system toward allowing the Chinese system to begin offering real-time navigation and positioning services.

The tests have involved the high-tech atomic clocks on the satellites.

Beidou Chief Engineer Xie Jun says their testing will eventually give the Beidou system the ability to transmit real-time navigational information to its users.

"As we've seen from the testing results, the high-speed transmissions are working well. The advantage of high-speed transmission lies in the timely transmission of data from the satellite. The original low-speed transmissions delay the flow of data."

The latest edition to the Beidou Satellite Navigation System went into orbit at the end of September, giving the system 20 active satellites.

This now allows Beidou to cover most of the Asia-Pacific region.

When the system is fully-operational, it will cover the entire globe, and will be an alterative to the United States' GPS system, which is controlled by the US military.

Long March 5

25-ton LEG, it's new designed YF-100 LOX/ Kerosene rocket engine and YF-77 LH_2/LOX rocket engine for CZ-5, not ordinary liquid engines or semi-cryogenic/cryogenic engine.

There isn't details in news. YaoGan-29, in Chinese it means Remote Sensing ... a optical spy satellite !

Ok so what is your estimate?

How high resolution would it have?

What is the highest resolution of any Chinese satellite?
