中新社北京10月14日电 (记者 马帅莎)据中国民营火箭公司蓝箭航天消息,北京时间10月14日19时40分,朱雀二号改进型遥四运载火箭在东风商业航天创新试验区发射升空,将搭载的国星宇航星时代-39、44~50星,光传-03、04星共10颗卫星顺利送入预定轨道,飞行试验任务取得圆满成功。
国星宇航星时代-39、44~50星由商业航天企业国星宇航自主研制。卫星搭载了高性能计算载荷、高速星间/星地激光通信载荷及微光相机等,将进行万瓦级液冷流体回路、超大尺寸展开式辐冷翼、全域激光通信网络、基础大模型在轨训练等关键技术在轨验证。这8颗卫星是“星算”计划的组网卫星。“星算”计划由2800颗计算卫星组成,其中2400颗为推理计算卫星,400颗为训练计算卫星,组网形成覆盖全球陆海空天的训推算力网。
光传-03、04星是由民营航天企业蓝塔智能面向卫星组网关键技术所研制的新一代激光数传试验星。

朱雀二号改进型运载火箭是两级低温液体火箭,采用液氧甲烷推进剂,具备近地轨道6吨、500公里太阳同步轨道4吨运力。此次任务是朱雀二号系列运载火箭的第10次飞行。目前朱雀二号系列运载火箭已执行中小卫星“拼车”、卫星互联网星座组网、中大型卫星部署等任务,积累了多样化经验。
未来随着卫星互联网、太空算力等领域发展,商业发射需求将更加丰富,既需要大型星座批量组网,也需要中小卫星灵活经济发射,“拼车”发射将走向常态。蓝箭航天表示,后续将继续完善多客户“拼车”模式,让朱雀二号改进型运载火箭与朱雀三号运载火箭形成阶梯化运力体系,前者面向快速、灵活、批量中小型任务,后者低轨运力超过20吨,面向超大规模星座、大型空间站补给和深空探测任务。

NASA's Perseverance rover has driven 45.2km on Mars since 2021, setting a record for the greatest distance traveled by any vehicle on another celestial body.

A mysterious high-energy glow in the Milky Way may be the remnant of a rare neutron star collision that created heavy elements like gold and platinum, according to a new peer-reviewed study by Chinese and US researchers posted on arXiv.

Polar researchers used China's Guowang satellite constellation to make the first publicly reported video call between the Arctic and Antarctic, highlighting the growing capabilities of Beijing's low-Earth-orbit networks.

The article reviews the 70-year development history of China's aerospace industry, from the anonymous dedication of the founders of the "two bombs and one satellite" to the Dongfanghong-1, Shenzhou-5, Chang'e lunar exploration and Tianwen Mars missions. It emphasizes that self-reliance and hard work are the core of the aerospace spirit, and looks forward to the Mars sample return mission around 2028.

French President Emmanuel Macron has urged Europe to develop an independent crewed space flight capability within ten years. The call, made at a Paris space summit, aligns with European Space Agency chief Josef Aschbacher's push for increased resources and autonomy.

China postponed its Chang'e-7 lunar mission after failing to meet launch requirements, rolling the rocket back to its assembly building. Analysts noted the delay could temporarily ease political and media pressure on NASA.
