On October 21-22, 2026, the 3.7-meter simulation test station antenna of the first satellite in Cangyu space was successfully hoisted in Meixian, Shaanxi, marking the successful completion of the hardware installation phase of the simulation test station antenna.

The 3.7-meter antenna is a key equipment for simulating satellite ground signals, which requires high installation alignment and surface accuracy. The lifting will be carried out in two days, completing the lifting of the antenna base and center body, adjusting the main surface, and assembling the antenna main surface and feed source.

During the homework period, on-site command, technical, safety, and lifting personnel each perform their respective duties, strictly follow the construction plan to carry out lifting, alignment, and positioning work, control assembly accuracy, and ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.

After the completion of the system, it will undertake tasks such as simulation testing of the space satellite system, in orbit testing support, and testing support for the satellite ground link, providing a ground test foundation for the satellite ground communication link and antenna performance testing, and effectively ensuring the subsequent model testing work. Next, the project team will gradually carry out the lifting of the 13 meter antenna of the first satellite ground station, the installation and deployment of various subsystems of operation and control equipment, and joint debugging and testing, steadily advancing the construction of the operation and control system according to the established plan.Editor/Gao Xue
