The reusable space aircraft launched by my country on August 5 has been in orbit for 95 days until today, and in 5 days it will take 100 days!
November 1, at around 12:00 U.S. Standard Time in my country's mysterious reusable space plane released a mysterious object in orbit. What is it? No one knows.
But it keeps giving us new news in space. When
was just launched, its perigee orbital height was 346 kilometers, the apogee orbital height was 593 kilometers, the inclination angle was 50 degrees, and the period was 94 minutes. After
3 weeks, it suddenly changed its orbit, with the perigee height becoming 351 kilometers and the apogee height being 595 kilometers. The orbital inclination and period remained basically the same.
And from October 23 to 24, it suddenly changed its orbit again, from the original 351 x 595 kilometers of elliptical orbit to a 597 x 608 kilometers of circular orbit.
Its track is getting rounder and rounder?
Then a mysterious object was released. The orbital changes are definitely closely related to the release of the mysterious object this time!
can now be seen that our space planes must be in orbit like the United States X37B, and will be in orbit for a long time.
The X37B spacecraft of the US Space Force has been orbiting the ground for 900 days in this mission, and I believe we will catch up quickly.
I believe this will not only be in terms of runtime, but will certainly be like the X37B, we will also conduct a lot of advanced tests on our spacecraft.
According to some information learned, the non-confidential experiments and technologies being tested by the US Space Force's X37B spacecraft include:
Advanced guidance, navigation and control, thermal protection systems, avionics, high-temperature structures and seals, reusable conformal insulation, light electromechanical flight systems, advanced propulsion systems, advanced materials and autonomous orbital flights, re-entry and landing.
Our experiments and activities are still confidential and there is no public information.
But we can understand, the following six launch mission cycles in the United States,
OTV-1: Launched on April 22, 2010, landed on December 3, 2010, and stayed in orbit for 224 days.
OTV-2: Launched on March 5, 2011, landed on June 16, 2012, with a stay in orbit for 468 days.
OTV-3: Launched on December 11, 2012, landed on October 17, 2014, with a stay in orbit for 674 days.
OTV-4: Launched on May 20, 2015, landed on May 7, 2015, with a stay in orbit for 718 days.
OTV-5: Launched on September 7, 2017, landed on October 27, 2019, with a stay in orbit for 780 days.
OTV-6: This time it was launched from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on May 17, 2020.
This will give us reason to believe that this time our spacecraft mission cycle may exceed the first mission cycle of the United States, 224 days.
I will keep paying attention to it, let us look forward to it together, maybe in the 23rd Spring Festival, it may come back to celebrate the festival.
