[Struggler · Zheng Youth] Shu Chang: "Post -85" entrepreneurial rockets bravely do aerospace dreamer

CCTV News: "Post -85" youth Shu Chang is one of the pioneers in the field of private aerospace in my country. Four years ago, he and the entrepreneurial team sent the first solid commercial sub -rail rocket to the blue sky, letting the outside world know that there was also a group of rocket entrepreneurs in China. Today's "Struggler · Zheng Youth" we come to know Shu Chang together, this rocket entrepreneurial youth.

On May 17, 2018, my country's first privately developed commercial Asian orbit rocket "Chongqing Liangjiang Star" successfully launched, becoming a milestone event in the history of China's private aerospace development.

On the day of Shoufei's success, Shu Chang, the founder of the zero -space of private aerospace companies, wrote a sentence on his social account: dreams always have it, in case of realization!

Shu Chang, the chairman of the founder of Zero One Space Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd.: At the beginning, we did this rocket company and did not say that we would do it. To a large extent, I felt that this was the case. I wanted to fight once and do it once. At that time, in addition to trying to hit the Rockets on the sky, there was also a original intention to be a banner of private aerospace, raised the banner, and more people began to charge.

In 2005, Shu Chang was admitted to Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics to study aircraft design, turning the knowledge learned from the textbook into a blueprint and entrepreneurship. Shu Chang took 10 years. In 2014, the state issued policies to encourage private enterprises to enter the satellite field, which made Shu Chang realize the opportunity. The following year, he registered Zero One Space Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. This is the first private enterprise with "carrier rockets and other spacecraft" in China.

Shu Chang, the chairman of the founder of Zero One Space Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd.: When I passed the design of Beihang to study the aircraft design, many students' stationery boxes wrote "Aviation to the country". I think (when I chose to start a business at that time) was unable to bear the blood, which was this state.

Private enterprises have developed rockets, facing multiple tests such as funds and technology, and what makes Shu Changyue is that shortly after the company was established, a group of professional talents in the space field chose to join. They started from the basic design of the Rockets and created the original technical model of the sub -rail rocket.

With the help of relevant policies, Shu Chang's enterprise injected funds "living water". Faced with vast space, this young man who chose the first "crab eating" divided rocket research and development progress according to stages, found positioning, rational thinking, carefully verified, and formulated supporting financing plans.

On December 22, 2017, Zero -One Space X series rocket engine was successfully tested; in April 2018, the engine was successfully trial.

Shu Chang, the chairman of the founder of Zero One Space Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd.: Before the launch in 2018, many people did not believe that China could have private enterprises engaged in rockets. Like some consumer electronics fields may produce a product in three months, we have been doing it for three years, it is still very difficult.

In 2018, the Shuchang team successfully launched two "Asian Rockets". In 2019, he began to challenge the "track rocket" at a farther distance.

Shu Chang, the founder of Zero -One Space Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd.: Our "Asian Rockets" (flight height) is 20 kilometers to 100 kilometers, but the height of the "railway rocket" is generally at least 350 kilometers. There are many technical problems to overcome from "sub -orbit" to "track". At that time, watching the Rockets fell from the sky, my palms were sweaty, and I felt that the rocket had spent so much money and time to develop products. It fell in one minute and felt the characteristics of the technical dense and high risk of the industry.

From "sub -orbit" to "track", not only has the technical difficulty increased in geometric coefficients, but the funds required have also increased significantly. After this failure in 2019, the Shu Chang team used one year to study the causes of the failure and continuously polished the technical solution.

In February last year, the OS-X6B smart rocket developed by the Shuchang team was successfully launched. This is the first time that commercial aerospace companies have adopted an arrow car to integrate mobile fast launch technology. The new "Asian Rockets" no longer need to go through the launching ground transfer, hanging to the complex preparations and testing before the launch, through the system intelligent testing and judgment, and complete the launch within 10 minutes.

Recently, Shu Changhe's team is preparing for the launch of another "Asian Rocket". He said that as long as the rocket technology is refined, and technological innovation is used to reduce costs, private enterprises can become an important supplement for Chinese aerospace.

Shu Chang, the founder of Zero -One Space Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd.: This rocket uses a container launch method. From the perspective of cost and from the perspective of technological innovation, it has made great breakthroughs. In the past, we were launched with a simple transmitted rack. Last year, it was launched in the car. This year, the container was launched, and it kept breaking through the direction of mobile launch. Commercial aerospace still needs to combine business and aerospace well to enable the company to operate healthily. I believe that with this foundation, everyone expects what we do, such as larger rockets, such as recycling technology, and there is unlimited possibilities.
