my country successfully launched a comprehensive solar exploration satellite “Kuafu-1”
At 7:43 on October 9, 2022, Beijing time, my country used the Long March 2D carrier rocket at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to successfully launch the advanced space-based solar observatory satellite into the space, the satellite successfully entered the predetermined orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success .
The Advanced Space-Based Solar Observatory is equipped with three payloads: the All-Solar Vector Magnetic Imager, the Lyman Alpha Solar Telescope and the Solar Hard X-ray Imager. The three payloads cooperate with each other to realize the simultaneous observation of the solar magnetic field, the non-thermal radiation of solar flares, the formation of the solar surface of coronal mass ejections and the propagation of the near-surface on a near-Earth satellite platform. With the help of the Lyman Alpha Solar Telescope, scientists will be able to observe the entire heliosphere and the corona simultaneously for the first time in the Lyman alpha band. The satellite has a design life of 4 years and operates in a sun-synchronous twilight orbit about 720 kilometers above the ground.
The Advanced Space-Based Solar Observatory will take advantage of the 25th peak year of solar activity to conduct observations with the scientific goal of “one magnetic and two storms”. The satellite will study the formation, evolution, interaction and interconnection of “one magnetic and two storms”, and provide support for space disaster weather forecasts that affect high-tech activities such as human spaceflight, communications, and navigation.
According to reports, in July 2022, the satellite engineering department will solicit names from the whole country, collecting more than 25,000 nominations, one-third of which are proposed to be named “Kuafu”, and finally chose to use “Kuafu No. 1” as the The name of the satellite reflects the Chinese people’s love for the myth of “Kuafu Chasing the Sun” and the mysterious pursuit of the sun.
