LM-6
Long March 6 Launch Vehicle (LM-6) is a 3 stage cryogenic liquid Launch Vehicle,which is the first one accomplish flight in china’s New generation launch vehicle. Using “three horizon”(horizontal integral test, horizontal integral Satellite and Launch Vehicle docking , horizontal integral transportion and erection)test-launch mode to accomplish the quick-launch of liquid Launch Vehicle. mainly used to launch satellites for various purposes to sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) and low-earth orbit (LEO). It supports a variety of launch types including single, muti- satellites launch, Constellation Networking and supplementing launch satisfying different customer’s requirement.
The Overall length is 29m, Its lift-off weight is 103t. The first stage is 3.35m diameter, the second and third stage is 2.25m diameter. The maximum Payload capability is 1000kg for 700km SSO.
September 20, 2015, the first flight of LM-6 launch vehicle was perfect which inject twenty satellites into orbit accurately.
Two typical mechanical interfaces are provided including Φ660 and Φ937.
The injection accuracy (3σ) of typical mission is as follows :
- Semi-major axis deviation(△a): ±5km
- Orbit eccentricity deviation(△e): ±0.002
- Inclination deviation(△i): ±0.08°
- Lead time: T0 + 18 months
