Yinhe-1 (satellite)

2020: Output to a low earth orbit

In the middle of January, 2020 China put the commercial satellite of a 5G communication Yinhe-1 to a low earth orbit. The carrier rocket on solid Kuaizhou-1A fuel ("The fast boat-1A") flew up from the mobile platform from the Center of start of the Jiuquan satellites in the northwest of China on January 16 at 11:02 a.m. on the Beijing time.

Onboard there was a Yinhe-1 satellite weighing 227 kg belonging to the Beijing communication company GalaxySpace. It is expected that Yinhe-1 will hold communication testing, however details are not specified. After start the satellite was successfully marked by the American military at the height of 637 km.

Sputnik which is also called by GS-SparkSat-03 should become the first element of low-orbit grouping of satellites for a global network of a 5G communication. "inexpensive, highly productive" the small satellite Galaxy-1 platform which will be improved after obtaining results of testing from an orbit will form a basis. Galaxy Space also announced that its satellites will be able independently to return from an orbit at the end of design life. Within this Galaxy Space project is going to launch 144 satellites within three years. The firm intends to provide services of high-speed communication with short delay around the world, including areas, remote from a civilization.

The Yinhe-1 satellite put to orbit was developed with assistance of the Chinese corporation of space science and technology and the Chinese corporation of electronic technologies. The Kuaizhou-1A rocket was created by Expace, commercial affiliated enterprise of the Chinese corporation of space science and technology and represents rather inexpensive commercial carrier rocket intended, first of all, for delivery to a low orbit of small satellites (to 300 kg).^[1]
