What is the first high orbit satellite connected by heaven and earth? After its large circular antenna is deployed, it is the size of a basketball court. The National Space Administration (NASA) recently announced that China has successfully launched the world's first high orbit synthetic aperture radar satellite, the Land Exploration 4 01 satellite. Its large circular synthetic aperture radar antenna has been successfully launched, and the satellite has officially started working.

Jiefang Daily's Shangguan News reporter learned that Donghua University in Shanghai is escorting the "land exploration" satellite into space. Professor Chen Nanliang's team from the Textile College has innovatively developed the "micro tension" weaving technology of ultra-fine metal monofilament mesh fabric, which has woven a new type of ultra light reflective surface material for large deployable satellite antennas, once again successfully serving the national aerospace industry.

As the world's first high orbit SAR satellite to enter the engineering implementation stage, the Land Exploration No. 4 01 satellite "stands tall and sees wide", with a single imaging coverage area of nearly 1/6 of China, and combines census mode and fine mode - not only can it see wide, see fine, and stare, but also can see quickly and with higher resolution, making it "small and fine". It can comprehensively consider multiple disaster situations and support monitoring needs in the event of multiple disasters occurring simultaneously with its emergency mode.

Experts introduce that this satellite has innovatively broken through multiple key technologies and can provide all-weather and all-time observation of China's local and surrounding areas, serving disaster prevention and reduction, earthquake monitoring, land and resource exploration, as well as the application needs of industries such as ocean, water conservancy, meteorology, agriculture, environmental protection, and forestry. It is currently the most widely used remote sensing satellite in China's industry. After being put into use, China will further improve its space-based disaster monitoring system, enrich observation methods in key regions, and comprehensively enhance the comprehensive level of disaster prevention, reduction, and relief in China.

How can high orbit satellites not only see widely and finely in the vast universe, but also see quickly and clearly? The development of satellite antennas is crucial. Antennas should not only be lightweight and convenient for satellites to carry and take off, but also have a large aperture to meet signal reception needs. They should also have a certain strength to ensure the survival of satellites in harsh space environments.

It is reported that the Land Exploration No. 4 01 satellite is equipped with a large-diameter circular deployment reflector, which is currently the largest antenna in China, with the most complex structure, the most deployment stages, and the longest development cycle. In order to make it possess the seemingly incompatible characteristics of "light", "large", and "strong", Professor Chen Nanliang's team from Donghua Textile University has taken on this "hard bone".

On the basis of previous research, they innovatively developed the "micro tension" weaving technology of ultra-fine metal single wire mesh fabric, providing a new type of ultra light reflective surface material for the large deployable antenna of the satellite. Professor Jiang Jinhua, the backbone of the team, introduced that the metal mesh used for spaceborne antennas on satellites such as Beidou was made of metal molybdenum wire. The ultra-fine metal molybdenum wire is soft, but the strength is not enough. Usually, parallel wire bonding is used to improve the overall strength. In order to further reduce the weight of the material and increase the reflective surface area, the team directly used ultra-fine metal molybdenum single wires for weaving.

As a result, the team's researchers collaborated with Changde Textile Machinery Co., Ltd. to abandon the traditional thinking of weaving mesh warp knitted fabrics and innovatively developed a new technology and equipment for weaving "micro tension" warp knitted mesh fabrics, greatly reducing the weight of the new antenna reflector. The circular large antenna formed by it has a deployment area close to the area of a basketball court, greatly improving the deployable antenna reflector area and communication ability of high orbit satellites.

Modern textile is no longer the traditional concept of "dressing and weaving", but the intelligent production of textile can "go up to the nine heavens and sweep the moon". From the solar panels "glass wings" that helped "Tiangong-1" and "Tiangong-2" successfully soar, to the "on-board antenna metal mesh" for the development of Beidou navigation and "Magpie Bridge" relay satellites, Chen Nanliang's research team has been taking on a series of aerospace projects, contributing to the national strategic advancement with the help of textile technology. This not only sets a new record for the height of Chinese people's flight, but also records the answers completed by textile high-tech in space to solve aerospace problems.

Recently, with the approval of the National Medical Products Administration, the Class 1 innovative drug CC312 developed by Huihe Biotechnology has initiated phase I clinical trials for the treatment of recurrent/refractory CD19 positive B-cell malignant hematological tumors. This is the first domestically and the third globally approved triple specific antibody drug based on CD28 co stimulatory signals to enter clinical practice. When it comes to the development history of this new triple antibody drug, Dr. Zhu Huaxing, the founder of Huihe Biotechnology, still remembers vividly: "Before 2019, there was no triple antibody drug approved for clinical use globally, and some investors couldn't understand CC312. During a critical period of company development, Nokai Xinkang Fund invested 30 million yuan to help us complete Series A financing." Nokai Xinkang is a venture capital fund initiated by Xinze Entrepreneurship Incubator. This incubation company, which has been deeply cultivated in Zhangjiang Science City for many years

"The college entrance examination is an experience in our lives. Looking back on the preparation for the entire senior year of high school, we cannot help but marvel at the preciousness of time. No matter what difficulties we have gone through, I believe that as long as we persist, it will become my lifelong wealth. Today, after completing the morning foreign language listening and speaking test of the college entrance examination, Xiao Song, a senior student of Lingling High School, came out of the examination center of East China University of Science and Technology Affiliated Middle School. The senior year graduate sitting in a wheelchair said," Although academic and life are not small tests for me, I have faced many difficulties in adversity and have never given up on my dream of taking the college entrance examination. "Xiao Song suffered from congenital muscular dystrophy since childhood and entered Lingling High School in high school." Later, the school provided him with classrooms on low floors and close to the toilet, making it easier for him to enter and exit, allowing him to face his academic life with more confidence. At school, I met many kind and enthusiastic people
