Re: 25 year old China made big satellite "Development Zone 1" to heaven.
1992 born in 2015, Luo Shu, graduated from Zhongshan University in 2015. He was a "rocket fan" from his childhood. He pursued his dream and settled in a forum.
2005, Luo Shu in the search for relevant information in contact with the science forum, the earliest gathering place of science and technology enthusiasts in China, suddenly attracted only 13 years old Luo Shu. He boldly used the C language as a simulation software to solve the equations of ballistic calculation, and met many industry predecessors and technology experts. After
went to university, Luo Shu, who had a solid family background, turned the theory into practice.
2011, in the year of />2011, the founder of the company announced the establishment of the first private Aerospace organization in China, which was elected as the chief engineer of the aerospace industry in 2013.
Guangzhou development zone provides a space laboratory to support satellite building
Luo Shu is ambitious for the future: "can you make a satellite by yourself?" His workplace is a garage in the city of Guangzhou. "I was surprised to know their working environment for the first time. Big dreams should have a good platform." Ren Hao, President of the Guangzhou City Institute of light and electrical research, said he enthusiastically proposed that a free office space for "Indian time" in Whampoa and Guangzhou development zones could be provided free of charge, and the laboratory was open, and the optical instrument test equipment could help the satellite test. This 200 square meter large development room has become the starting point of this young entrepreneurial team.
decryption made "Star"
future open design data for the public can download free
fixed direction small microsatellite is a private enterprise
a group of satellite enthusiasts, without large funds and the background of the system, only obsessed with the research of sophisticated technology. With teams and companies, they are starting to move forward.
"we have determined the direction very early -- to make micro satellites, and there are already mature industrial chains abroad, and China is just beginning." Luo Shu said that the cost of launching a single large commercial satellite is as high as 50 million to 400 million dollars. They are expensive and private enterprises hardly participate in space. However, in recent years, things have changed. Many foreign satellite startups have aimed at small satellites with light weight and low cost, making big business.
set up a satellite network to make a satellite network to make the earth to make a big money
"such as the United States Planet satellite Image Company, they send 88 stereoscopic satellites to the near earth orbit, each with only 5 kilograms, form a satellite network, shoot the entire Earth land image every day, and carry on the real-time transmission," Planet In the view of Luo Shu, the business model is "a banknote printing machine installed in heaven".
Science and Technology aerospace hopes to take a similar road to establish micro satellite global networking and serve the big data and the Internet of things as the goal. The specific method is that the terminal uploads the data collected by the ground sensor to the satellite, the satellite stores the data, then forward to the ground station, the ground station handles the data preliminarily, and distributes the end user through the Internet, mobile communication network and other means.
it is estimated that the cost of the whole satellite will cost about 40 thousand ~10 USD / kg under the premise of reasonably setting the target and the scale of the project.
and profitable sales of spare parts to scientific research institutes to gain
as of now, the cost of research and development of "aerospace" is about 3 million yuan. There is also a great place for the venture to maintain profit. "We sell parts of microsatellites to research institutes and have a part of the profit."
is also lucky enough to start a private space business in China, because China has become the leading star of the satellite launch business, the number of rocket launches in the world is the number one, and the commercial satellite is "cheap and cheap". "We are now going through the approval process, hoping to catch up with the right rocket." Luo Shu said.
the future goal has been set, KCO space also has a crazy idea - the future satellite code, drawings, process flow and all the design data, the public can not only download and use, but also participate in the process of research and development.
"the microsatellite is not so mysterious, we completely reduce the technical threshold to make more people join in and realize the astronaut dream of the Chinese." in the eyes of Luo Shu, the post-90s entrepreneur, we never forget the growth experience of his own forum, and hope to develop the satellite with the way of opening and sharing.
