On September 29, Yuanwang V, a high-technology-integrated ship
was officially delivered to the China Satellite Maritime Tracking
and Controlling Department at Jiangnan Shipyard (Group) Co., Ltd.
It is a next-generation oceangoing spacecraft tracking,
telemetering and control ship independently developed by China.
Made with world-class techniques, the ship marks another great step
that China has taken in oceangoing spacecraft tracking and control
technologies.
With a load displacement of up to 25,000 tons, Yuanwang V is
integrated with various kinds of technologies, such as ship-making,
navigational meteorology, electronics, mechanics, photics,
telecommunications and computing. Resistant to force 12 plus wind,
it is seaworthy in every maritime area between 60°N and 60°S.
As a newcomer to the Yuanwang family, Yuanwang V is more
advanced in equipment and more elegant in design than its
predecessors. In addition, the well-laid-out and fully equipped
ship is provides a cozier environment for oceangoing crews. In
fact, it has a built in shock and noise reducing techniques and
air-conditioning systems that automatically adjusts to ambient air
conditions.
In addition, a ship of the same kind as Yuanwang V is now being
built at Jiangnan Shipyard (Group) Co., Ltd. When it is launched,
the ship, together with Yuanwang V will play a major role in
enhancing the development of China's aerospace industry.?
