Commercial Microsatellite and Launch solution

Based on the potential demands for commercial new technology demonstration, we provide a brief introduction about flight opportunity and launch service for microsatellite, CubeSat, electronic devices and new technology verification by using the free space on China’s Long-March series launch vehicles.

•Provide piggyback solution for Microsatellite new technologies’ demonstration, launch service, carrying satellite operation and maintenance services;

•Provide launch opportunity at least Twice per year;  

•Launch will be based on two types of launch vehicles (LM-2D and LM-4B/4C), which are mainly for SSO and LEO orbits.

Basic information of Launch Vehicle:

Piggybacking

With sufficient payload capability, launch of two tandem satellites can be considered. Compared to dedicated launch, transition sections A and B as well as an additional PSB are added. The upper satellite is accommodated in the PLF and will be separated first. The lower satellite is accommodated in the space formed by transition sections A and B and the PSB B.

Piggyback microsatellite service can be provided as long as the remaining payload capability and satellite envelope permit. One or more microsatellites can be carried at a time. Such piggyback satellites are often placed in the deployed (or the "POD") on the installation bracket of PSB. Compared to dedicated launch status, this launch configuration requires development of deplorer installation bracket and provision of corresponding separation control instructions and separation signal measurement.
