satellite often hear that China's current aerospace technology level is often launching satellites. We are from the excitement at the beginning to the habit of being accustomed to it later, but every time we make a breakthrough in new technology, we are still very happy. This is not the successful launch of China's first comprehensive solar exploration satellite, "Kuafu-1", has become a hot search, and it makes us feel the romance that belongs to China alone.
Now we created a " Kuafu " to turn the myth into reality. In the naming of this satellite, more than 25,000 nominations were received, and one-third of them suggested using "Kafu". I believe everyone has heard of Kuafu's mythology, and it is deeply rooted in our hearts. For this reason, as a solar exploration satellite, many people think that Kuafu's name is natural.
In fact, this is not the first time China has launched a solar exploration satellite. Just last year, my country also launched " Xihe " , which is my country's first solar exploration science and technology experimental satellite. After a year of exploration, Xihe has set five international firsts for my country, which has greatly improved my country's research capabilities in the field of solar physics, and is of great significance to my country's space science exploration and the development of satellite technology.
Now we have successfully launched "Kuafu-1" to realize our mythological dream. So what is the use of this solar exploration satellite? What does the successful launch of Kuafu-1 mean to us?
The so-called solar observation satellite is mainly used to detect solar activity. You must know that the sun is the source of life of the earth. However, this irritable sun often poses certain threats to the lives of people on earth. Therefore, in order to better understand the sun, know the energy contained in the sun magnetic field in , and what impact these energy on the earth, it is necessary to study it. For this reason, we need to observe the sun for a long time to understand it. Only in this way can we better help us understand the sun.
Although the current activity of the sun is relatively stable and will not pose too much threat to humans, and satellites observing the sun cannot prevent solar activity, it can help us prepare for response in advance to prevent changes in solar activity.
The world's first solar observation satellite was successfully launched by the United States in 2006. As for China, it actually proposed a space solar observation plan in 1992. Once it was proposed, it caused a sensation in the world and attracted great attention in the international solar physics community.
We first completed the research on the solar observation astronomical telescope . This astronomical telescope needs to be installed on satellites and used in space. It took us more than 10 years to develop the technology of the telescope, and it took a total of 5 or 6 years to develop the technology of the satellite platform.
We are committed to completing the entire project before sunspot explodes again. In this way, we can observe the process of sunspot explosion, obtain more data, and see more phenomena to study and ponder. That is of great significance.
The "Kuafu-1" launched this time is my country's first dedicated satellite for comprehensive solar exploration. It has achieved a breakthrough in China's comprehensive solar satellite detection, which is of far-reaching significance to my country.
On October 9, China successfully launched it into the air using the Long March 2 launch vehicle at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, and the entire mission was successfully completed.
You should know that before my country launched, the world's major powers had already launched dozens of solar exploration-related satellites into space. However, my country is indeed a big gap. There has never been a location in the observation of the sun. Now, with the advancement of China's aerospace science and technology, China has naturally made rapid progress in satellite technology. It has also begun to have a certain accumulation of technology for our solar observation satellites, so we have ushered in the solar observation satellites that belong to our country.
Kuafu One's main scientific goal is to target "one magnet and two explosions", namely, solar magnetic field, solar flare and coronal matter ejection. When our Kuafu One starts running, he can perform specific task goals during observation.
In the detection, the specific task is mainly
1. Observe the two most violent explosion phenomena on the sun that have an important impact on the earth's spatial environment, solar flares and coronal mass ejection, so that we can study the relationship and formation rules of flares and coronal mass ejection.
2. Observe the vector magnetic field of the sun surface, so we can study the causal relationship between solar flare burst and coronal matter ejection and solar magnetic field.
3. Observe the responses of different levels of the solar atmosphere to solar bursts, and then you can study the transmission mechanism and dynamic characteristics of the solar burst energy.
4. Observe the sun's outbreak to predict space weather, so as to provide guarantees for the safety of China's space environment.
It can be said that Kuafu 1 has a great significance to us. Looking at our " Chang'e Flying on the Moon" and "Kuafu Chasing the Sun", it has to be said that the Chinese are really romantic and emotional at this point.
