Changzhi Tsinghua Factory Helps Tiangong-1

In September 29th, China's first target aircraft "

In this launch, Changzhi Tsinghua Machinery Factory is the only Aerospace Launch support system manufacturer in China. What has been done in the early stage?

Recently, the newspaper reporter entered

At 20:16 on September 29th, Tiangong-1 launched into a negative hour.

With the instruction of the commanding officer, Yang Bo, a member of Changzhi Qinghua machinery factory, took a closer look at whether the 4 wind protection rods fastened on the foot of the long two F rocket were completely opened, and whether the platform cover plates leading to the guide slot under the rocket were all opened. After confirming that there was no mistake, more than 20 comrades from the launch site were evacuated from the safe passage by Yang Bocai.

Opening the pull rod and opening the cover plate are the last two processes of the whole launching process, and Yang Bo's evacuation is the last batch of team members to launch the scene.

The reporter joined Yang Bo, a 35 year old pilot at the Jiuquan launch center.

According to his introduction, from July 19th to Jiuquan, he was responsible for overhauling, training, and driving, many times, and a few months.

In the recent two months, Yang Bo experienced the heat, experienced the wind and sand, and overcome the acclimatization, with the hoisting, the pition, the launch, the next outstanding work.

Platform for overhaul upgrading

According to the reporters, after the successful launching of "Shen seven" in 2008, according to the requirements of the General Armament Department and the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, Changzhi Tsinghua machinery factory has dispatched many technical backbone such as assembly, hydraulics, electrical appliances and technology to the Jiuquan satellite launch center in 2009. It has carried out overhaul and upgrading of the launch platform that has been used for 12 years to meet the needs of the new launching mission.

The two time, Fan Huimin, who went to the Jiuquan satellite launch center to install the launching platform, was the leader of the assembly of large-scale structural components.

He told reporters that in more than two months, he led 6 players in accordance with the design requirements, has undertaken several launches of the task of the platform from the mechanical system, hydraulic system, electrical system, pneumatic system and other aspects of technology upgrading.

On the morning of September 28th, Pan Yulin, deputy director of technology and quality of Changzhi Tsinghua machinery factory, told reporters that the updated launch platform has greatly improved the accuracy, adaptability and reliability of the launch platform, so that it can well meet the needs of the new COSCO launch tasks such as Tiangong-1.

The first stage of the rocket pformation platform is outstanding.

At 8 hours in September 20th, the opening of the 350 ton factory building of the vertical assembly test workshop of the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center opened. The Tiangong-1 target vehicle and the long march -2F launch vehicle assembly slowly moved out of the assembly test plant gate under the load of the launch platform.

The 70 meter tall combination sits on the deep blue launch platform, appearing in the clear autumn sky.

At 9, 8 jacks on the bottom of the launch platform were gradually retracted, and the walking mechanism composed of 16 wheels began to run smoothly.

The span of 25 meters and 1500 meters long, carrying the "Tiangong-1" launch platform for 1 hours, 7 minutes.

Compared with the past, the improved launch platform has nearly 20 minutes' travel time.

At the moment of accurate entry into the launch site, thousands of staff, reporters and spectators at the scene made deafening cheers.

Yang Bo, who has been following the pformation of rockets, listened carefully to supervise the walking mechanism on the launching platform.

When the assignment was finished beautifully, he could not help running to call the scene photographer to pose for himself before the nameplate with "Changzhi Tsinghua Machinery Factory".

Standby platform first flew "God eight"

In the 90s of last century, Changzhi Tsinghua machinery factory received two launch platforms.

It was installed in Jiuquan satellite launch center two times in 1997 and 1999.

The launch platform is equipped with vertical, vertical, vertical and long distance test and launch control. The three vertical and one remote mode is at the international advanced level.

The first launch platform has completed a number of large-scale flight test missions from "Shen Yi" to "Shen seven", and second launch platforms have been in standby mode.

The "Tiangong-1" and "Shenzhou eight" to complete the rendezvous and docking, the interval launch time is short, the backup launch platform finally came into operation.

The two rocket appeared at the launch site at the same time. It is the first time in the history of space launch in China.

The "Long March two F remote eight" launch vehicle for launching Shenzhou eight spacecraft has arrived in Jiuquan to begin assembly on the standby launch platform.

The second active launch platforms that are overhauled and re upgraded have the same good and superior performance as the former. They can undertake the completion of more difficult flight missions.
