Now that Compass-G4 has been launched on October 31 (UTC), due to the minimum turnaround time between two launches at XSLC recalled in my earlier post (Reply#539), I'll predict that Zhongxing-20A will be launched on November 30 (UTC) and Compass-I2 on December 30 (UTC). [Шутливо]

China sets new record for annual launch activity
BY STEPHEN CLARK
SPACEFLIGHT NOW
Posted: November 1, 2010

Sunday's launch of a navigation satellite was the 12th flight of a Long March rocket in 2010, eclipsing the record for most Chinese space missions in a single year.
    
This weekend's flight broke an annual record China set in 2008, when it conducted 11 launches of human, scientific and military payloads.

This year, the country's burgeoning space program has launched 12 rockets, all successfully.

Payloads include four Beidou navigation satellites launched in January, July, August and October. China plans to continue a rapid pace of Beidou flights over the next two years, eventually reaching an intermediate stage of deployment by 2012, when it will provide positioning services over China and neighboring regions.

China will have launched 14 Beidou satellites by 2012 to achieve the localized coverage in the Asia-Pacific region, according to official government sources.

Three Long March flights have orbited Yaogan military reconnaissance satellites, beginning in March when a trio of spacecraft blasted off on a Long March 3C rocket.

Two more Yaogan payloads, believed to be electro-optical or night-vision radar spy satellites, were sent into space in August and September.

State-owned Chinese media outlets report the Yaogan satellites accomplish scientific experiments, survey land resources, estimate crop yields and contribute to natural disaster response efforts. But observers believe the spacecraft are actually operated by the Chinese military.

Long March rockets in June and October sent Shijian technology demonstration payloads into orbit.

The June launch of Shijian 12 started a groundbreaking rendezvous test that reached a crescendo in August, when it approached another Chinese satellite. China released no official account of the demo, but independent analysts using U.S. military tracking data concluded the spacecraft must have passed within about 600 feet of each other.

Other boosters launched a Tianhui mapping satellite, the Chinasat 6A television broadcasting spacecraft and the Chang'e 2 probe to the moon.

Chang'e 2 launched Oct. 1 and reached the moon five days later.

At least three more satellites are planned to launch this year, potentially extending the record to around 15 missions by the end of December.

China is preparing another Long March rocket to haul a Fengyun weather satellite to orbit as soon as Nov. 4. Another communications satellite and Beidou navigation platform could follow later in November and December.

The pace of Beidou launches, coupled with increased activity in China's human space program, should continue a frenzied launch manifest through 2011.

China is testing the core module of a mini-space station named Tiangong 1 for launch late next year. Future Chinese astronaut crews will visit the complex starting in 2012, according to state media.

This year's record launch rate comes as NASA and China open a joint dialogue on potential space cooperation. NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden visited China last month, and his hosts afforded him unprecedented access to human spaceflight facilities.

Although the talks did not include discussions on specific partnerships, according to NASA, the visit provided a basis for further dialogue.

One of the 2 launches planned until year end has slipped into 2011, and next year 20 satellites (instead of 22) are planned to be launched.

Here is what the president of CAST declared in end October, before the launches of Compass-G4 and FY-3B, as reported by Aviation Week, :

"China has launched 11 satellites this year, has two at their launch sites preparing to go and will follow them with one more, making it 14 for the year. Next year it will launch 20"

AIRSHOW-China Great Wall in $2.3 bln satellite, rocket deal

ZHUHAI, China | Tue Nov 16, 2010 12:53am EST

Nov 16 (Reuters) - China Great Wall Industry Corp has signed a 15 billion yuan ($2.26 billion) framework agreement to buy rockets and communication satellites from two affiliates, Xinhua news agency said on Tuesday.

China Great Wall would buy 20 Long March 3A rockets from the rocket technology research institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp (CASTC) and eight Dongfanghong communication satellites from another CASTC institute, Xinhua said.

CASTC is also the state parent of China Great Wall Industry.

China Great Wall planned to handle three commercial satellite launches in 2011, it added.

The agreement was signed on the sidelines of the on-going Zhuhai air show in southern China.

The Long March rockets are the workhorses of China's satellite programme. One launched China's lunar exploration probe last month, the Chang'e-2.

China started its space programme in the 1960s.

In 2003, it became the third country after the United States and the former Soviet Union to put a man into space. It sent two men into orbit in 2005 and carried out a space walk in 2008.

China is also in the middle of placing a total of 35 orbiters in space to end its dependence on U.S. satellites for navigation and positioning services.

But China's ambitions have raised concerns of a space arms race with the United States and other powers since China blew up one of its own weather satellites with a ground-based missile in January 2007. China says its plans are purely peaceful. ($1=6.641 YUAN) (Writing by Fang Yan and Ben Blanchard; Editing by Chris Lewis)

First CAST DFH-5 Bus To Launch By 2017

Nov 17, 2010

 By Bradley Perrett perrett@aviationweek.com
Beijing

The first satellite based on the CAST DFH-5 bus should be launched in 2016 or 2017, addressing the active market for large spacecraft platforms.

Development is scheduled for the next five-year economic plan of the Chinese government, covering 2011 to 2015, says Chinese Academy of Space Technology (CAST) President Yang Baohua.

"Currently, there are no great difficulties in the development," Yang tells Aviation Week. "It is just an issue of scale, because we do not need to make any particularly difficult breakthroughs in the concept as we move to the DFH-5 from the DFH-4," which is currently CAST's biggest bus.

The DFH-5 is a "large, trussed satellite platform" that will "meet the needs of new-generation large geostationary communications satellites and Earth observation satellites," CAST says

The DFH-4 was initially unreliable, but Yang says its problems have been "basically" resolved.

"We can say that the DFH-4 has progressed from failures to success, and now from success to maturity. Next it will progress from maturity to international recognition."

While the DFH-4 is now CAST's main offering, the smaller DFH-3 still has a future, Yang says, speaking at Airshow China in Zhuhai. An order for eight satellite buses placed at the show by affiliate China Great Wall Industry Corp. were originally said to be DFH-4s, but some might actually be DFH-3Bs, an uprated version of the earlier bus.

The DFH-4 has a launch mass of 5.1-5.4 tons, payload of 600 to 800 kg., and power of 10.5 kw. The figures for the DFH-5 are 6.5-7 tons, 1,200-1,500 kg. and 15-20 kw.

CAST is part of national space contractor CASC (China Aerospace Science & Technology Corp.).
