China to Launch first High-throughput Communications Satellite in April (http://english.spacechina.com/n16421/n17212/c1591500/content.html)ЦитироватьBEIJING, Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- China plans to launch Shijian-13, its first high-throughput communications satellite, in April, the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST) said Friday.
The 4.6-tonne satellite, with a message capacity of more than 20 GB, will be carried into orbit by a Long March-3B carrier rocket, according to the CAST.
An increase in satellite throughput will provide better access to the Internet on planes and high-speed trains, said Wang Min, deputy head of the CAST's Institute of Telecommunication Satellite.
For the first time, a large number of domestic components have been used on a communications satellite with an orbital life of 15 years, Wang said. It is also the first time electric propulsion has been used on a Chinese satellite.
Shijian-13 has been transported to the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province. After completing in-orbit technical tests, it will be designated as Zhongxing-16.
In 2017, China plans to launch six communications satellites, including Shijian-13 and Shijian-18.
Powerful new satellite to be launched in April (http://www.ecns.cn/2017/02-17/245689.shtml)ЦитироватьChina will launch its most advanced communications satellite in April as it builds a large capacity network that will enable passengers on jetliners and high-speed trains to use the internet.
Shijian 13, developed by the China Academy of Space Technology, will be lifted on a Long March 3B carrier rocket from Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan province.
The satellite, which weighs 4.6 metric tons, will stay for 15 years in a geostationary orbit about 36,000 kilometers above Earth, the academy said.
The satellite features a Ka-band broadband communications system capable of transmitting 20 gigabytes of data per second, making it the most powerful communications satellite the nation has developed.
Shijian 13 will use electric propulsion after it enters orbit, which will extensively reduce the chemical fuel the satellite carries. Moreover, it will conduct space-to-ground laser communications experiments, the academy said.

The Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in the hills of Sichuan Province, SW China, in late 2013.
Shijian-13 will be launched to geostationary orbit on a Long March 3B rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre, southwest China, at around 7pm Beijing time on April 12 (11am UTC), according an airspace restriction notice.
The 4.6-tonne satellite is set to be positioned at 110.5E, from wh ere it will provide Ka-band satellite broadband and multimedia services to mainland China and other areas with a message capacity of more than 20 Gbps.
Shijian-13 will also carry out space-to-ground laser communications experiments, which could pave the way to much greater advances in satellite communications capacity.
The satellite has a design lifetime of 15 years and will mark the first full use of China's LIPS-200 xenon ion engines for propulsion.
Using ion engines instead of heavy conventional chemical fuels can allow a satellite to carry greater payloads or reduce launch costs.
Спойлер
The engines were developed by the Lanzhou Institute of Physics (LIP) and were first tested on Shijian-9A (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2012/10/long-march-2c-shijian-9-tech-demonstrator-satellite-duo/), launched in October 2012.
(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/101756.jpg)
Above: A Long March 3B launches Belintersat-1 from Xichang in January 2016.
Following on-orbit testing, the Shijian-13 ('practice-13') satellite will be designated as Zhongxing-16 (Chinasat-16).
The satellite, based on the DFH-3B platform, was manufactured by the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST) and is planned for use in distance learning, medicine, internet access, airborne and maritime communications, and emergency communications.
Launch on Wednesday would be China's fourth orbital mission of 2017, following TJS-2 (http://gbtimes.com/china/china-opens-busy-year-space-launch-experimental-comms-sat), a Kuaizhou-1A (http://gbtimes.com/china/china-launches-small-satellites-commercial-kuaizhou-1a-rocket) rocket launch, and Tiankun-1 (http://gbtimes.com/china/new-kaituozhe-2-rocket-launches-experimental-chinese-satellite).
The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), the main contractor for the Chinese space programme and of which CAST is a subsidiary, is aiming for close to 30 launches in 2017 (http://gbtimes.com/china/china-attempt-close-30-space-launches-2017), with further solid-fuelled rocket launches of small satellites also expected for another state-run space actor, CASIC.
China's busy April
Launch of Shijian-13 will kick off a very busy month for the Chinese space programme, which will see a major mission, a national space day and the revealing of a name and logo for the country's 2020 Mars mission.
The main business will be Tianzhou-1 (http://gbtimes.com/tags/tianzhou-1), the first test of cargo spacecraft that marks a crucial step towards constructing a space station.
Tianzhou-1 will launch from the new coastal Wenchang Satellite Launch Centre on the second Long March 7 (http://gbtimes.com/china/7-facts-about-chinas-new-long-march-7-space-rocket) carrier rocket, and, once in orbit, dock with Tiangong-2, with the main aim of testing and proving liquid propellant refuelling technologies in microgravity.
Tianzhou spacecraft, much like Russian Progress or American Cygnus resupply craft, will be required to keep the future Chinese Space Station (CSS (http://gbtimes.com/china/chinas-space-station-2-arms-wings-and-chinese-hubble)) fuelled and its astronauts fully sustained and supplied.
Preparations for launch (http://gbtimes.com/china/preparations-chinas-first-cargo-spacecraft-mission-under-way-wenchang-launch-site) are being finalised on Hainan Island, and the Yuanwang-7 tracking ship has started (http://www.ecns.cn/2017/04-10/252732.shtml)its maritime space monitoring and communication tasks ready for the mission.
Current rumours and projections suggest a launch for either April 20 or 23 and live streams of the launch will be available.
(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/101773.png)
Above: Tianzhou-1 undergoing testing at the AIT centre in North China.
On April 24, the anniversary of the launch of the country's first satellite (Dongfanghong-1) in 1970, China will host its second national 'Space Day (http://gbtimes.com/china/china-celebrates-first-space-day-and-looks-stars)', as part of space and science education outreach, and seeking to secure political rewards for the ruling Communist Party for major achievements.
The occasion will also be used to announce the winners of a public competition to both name and create a logo (http://gbtimes.com/china/china-reveals-shortlist-names-and-logos-2020-mars-mission) for China's 2020 Mars mission (http://gbtimes.com/china/china-unveils-its-mars-2020-probe-and-science-goals), which includes an orbiter, lander and rover.
A competition to give a more attractive name to the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT (http://gbtimes.com/tags/hxmt)), a space science mission which launches in June, will also close.
Further telecommunications launches
In June China will launch Shijian-18, the first test of the new DFH-5 satellite bus. With a mass of up to 7 tonnes, the new platform requires the heavy-lift Long March 5 (http://gbtimes.com/china/five-things-know-about-chinas-long-march-5-rocket) to loft it to nearly 36,000 km above the Earth.
The mission will be the second for the new carrier rocket, with China hoping for a less dramatic launch (http://gbtimes.com/china/china-opens-over-dramatic-long-march-5-launch) than its ultimately successful debut in November.
Zhongxing-9A (https://www.satbeams.com/satellites?id=2511) is another planned summer comms sat launch, which will see the DFH-4 bus based Ku-band satellite sent to 92° E in geostationary orbit on a Long March 3B/E from Xichang.
China aims to use DFH-4 and -5 satellite platforms to make the internet available in aircraft cabins, high speed trains and even remote mountainous areas by 2025.
Other communications satellites planned for launch this year, according to Nasaspaceflight.com, are Zhongxing-6C around September and an international contracted launch, Alcomsat-1, for Algeria.

Chinese Launch:
The 4.6-tonne satellite was developed by the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST) and is based on the DFH-3B satellite platform. Shijian-13 was the satellite's original designation, before being renamed Zhongxing-16 (ChinaSat-16).
The new satellite will test a new electric propulsion system to be used for orbit raising and station keeping at a geosynchronous altitude. It also carries the first high-throughput satellite payload (HTS) developed by China.
(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209099.jpg)
The satellite features a Ka-band broadband communications system capable of transmitting 20 gigabytes of data per second, making it the most powerful communications satellite the nation has developed to date.
According to Wang Min, deputy head of the CAST's Institute of Telecommunication Satellite, ChinaSat-16 will provide better access to the Internet on planes and high-speed trains, with the increase in satellite throughput provided by the new satellite that will be located at 110.5° East.
The satellite is able to provide 26 user beams covering China and offshore areas – allowing it to also cover airborne and maritime communications and emergency communications, using Ka-band satellite broadband and multimedia services.
With a lifetime of 15 years, the satellite will be operated by China Satcom.
The satellite will also conduct space-to-ground laser communications experiments.
(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/209098.jpg)
The DFH-3 (Dongfanghong-3) platform is a medium-capacity telecommunications satellite platform designed and developed by CAST.
The platform can be used for multiple telecommunications payloads for providing a range of services, including fixed communication, international satellite communication, national and regional communication, wideband data communication, mobile communication and direct broadcast; military communication, spacecraft tracking and data relay.
It comprises six subsystems: control, power, propulsion, measurement & control, structure and thermal control subsystem. The platform configuration features module subdivision, which includes a communication module, propulsion module, service module and solar array.
The platform adopts three-axis stabilized attitude control mode, with solar array output power of 1.7 kw by the end of its design lifetime. Its mass is 2,100kg with payload capacity 220kg.
The DFH-3 satellite platform has been successfully applied in the Beidou navigation test satellite, and other satellites, all of which are currently operating normally.
During numerous flight missions, the maturity and reliability of the DFH-3 platform have been proved. Moreover, it has strong expansion capacity and can be upgraded to some space exploration missions, such as meteorological satellite and lunar resource satellite services.
Its onboard Ion thrusters are designed for a wide variety of missions.
These thrusters have high specific impulses, that is, ratio of thrust to the rate of propellant consumption, so they require significantly less propellant for a given mission than would be needed with chemical propulsion.
Ion propulsion is even considered to be mission enabling for some cases wh ere sufficient chemical propellant cannot be carried on the spacecraft to accomplish the desired mission.

2017/04/12
China launched its experimental Shijian-13 satellite from Xichang on Wednesday, with a Long March 3B rocket sending the telecommunications satellite toward geosynchronous orbit.
Launch took place in Sichuan Province just after 19:00 local time (11:04 UTC). Amateur footage showed the rocket lifting off but confirmation of launch success is likely to follow from state media in the next couple of hours.
The 4.6-tonne satellite is set to be positioned at 110.5E in geostationary orbit, from wh ere it will provide Ka-band satellite broadband and multimedia services to mainland China and other areas with a capacity of more than 20 Gbps.

Fourth for 2017, 246th Long March
Launch on Wednesday was China's fourth orbital mission of 2017, following TJS-2 (http://gbtimes.com/china/china-opens-busy-year-space-launch-experimental-comms-sat), a Kuaizhou-1A (http://gbtimes.com/china/china-launches-small-satellites-commercial-kuaizhou-1a-rocket) rocket launch, and Tiankun-1 (http://gbtimes.com/china/new-kaituozhe-2-rocket-launches-experimental-chinese-satellite).
It was the 39th launch of the Long March 3B and its variants, which has only suffered one partial failure since its disastrous debut (http://gbtimes.com/china/20-years-after-chinas-xichang-space-disaster-rumours-linger) in February 2016.
The launch of Shijian-13 via Long March 3B was the 246th overall for the Long March rocket series.

XICHANG, April 12 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese satellite will not only enable passengers of high-speed trains to watch high-definition videos more smoothly but also help those at the scene of natural disasters report emergencies.
Shijian-13, China's first high-throughput communications satellite, was launched from Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province at 7:04 p.m. Wednesday.
The satellite, with a transfer capacity of 20 Gbps and a designed orbital life of 15 years, was sent into orbit on a Long March-3B carrier rocket.
The satellite, which has a higher message capacity than the combined capacity of all of China's previous communications satellites, is capable of providing better Internet access on planes and high-speed trains, as well as in less-developed regions.
While in orbit, the satellite will undergo tests on its broadband multimedia satellite communications system and the high speed laser communication technology between the ground and the satellite.
"The launch is a milestone for China's communications satellite technology," said Tian Yulong, chief engineer of the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence.
Different from previous satellites fueled by chemicals, Shijian-13 is the first Chinese satellite to be powered by electricity.
Using electricity as propellant could potentially improve efficiency by as much as 10 times compared with those that use chemicals as a propellant, said Zhou Zhicheng, commander in chief of Shijian-13 satellite system, adding that it can also help extend satellite life and reduce launch weight significantly.
For the first time, a large number of domestic components have been used on the communications satellite. It is also the first time a laser communications system has been installed on a Chinese high orbit satellite with a long lifespan.
The satellite and the rocket were designed by academies affiliated with the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp., and the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology respectively.
It was the 246th flight mission by a Long March carrier rocket.

ЦитироватьКитай оснастил спутник связи ионным электрическим двигателем
Ланьчжоу, 14 апреля /Синьхуа/ -- Ионный ракетный двигатель, самостоятельно разработанный китайскими учеными, впервые был установлен в Китае на недавно запущенном телекоммуникационном спутнике сверхскоростной связи "Шицзянь-13".
Спутник "Шицзянь-13" был успешно запущен с космодрома Сичан в провинции Сычуань /Юго-Западный Китай/ 12 апреля в 19:04.
"Шицзянь-13" является первым китайским спутником, оснащенным электрическим двигателем. Это позволяет потенциально увеличить эффективность аппарата в 10 раз по сравнению со спутниками на химическом топливе, продлить срок эксплуатации спутника и уменьшить стартовый вес.
Ланьчжоуский институт физики приступил к разработке ионного двигателя для "Шицзянь-13" в марте 2011 года и завершил эту работу в апреле 2016 года.
Ионный двигатель способен преобразовывать неистощимую энергию Солнца в реактивную энергию, благодаря чему спутник может выполнять маневры, сообщил директор данного института Чжан Вэйвэнь.
Технологии электрического двигателя /ЭРД/ позволяют не нагружать спутник большим количеством химического топлива, а ионный двигатель помогает осуществлять точную локализацию в космическом пространстве, указал он.
"Шицзянь-13" способен передавать до 20 гигабайт данных в секунду, благодаря чему его возможности передачи данных превосходят возможности всех ранее произведенных и запущенных Китаем спутников связи вместе взятых. Новый спутник улучшит доступ к Интернету в слаборазвитых регионах, а также будет обеспечивать покрытие в самолетах и высокоскоростных поездах.
