Is it true that Zhongxing 6B will stop broadcasting? 1? three

On September 9th, July 5th, 2007, the launch was successful, and the "Zhongxing 6B" satellite with a design life of 16.5 suddenly broke down, resulting in the interruption of all the 150 TV programs transmitted on CCTV, China Education TV and 23 provincial satellite TVs for 47 minutes. Coupled with the "CIGNA II" accident launched before, these two years have been eventful for the live star companies that are planning to transform from the traditional profit model of "renting transponders" to the model of "live stars entering the home". So what is the reason behind this accident? As a satellite operator, where should its profit model be positioned? "Man-made" accident According to CCTV reports, on February 9th, from 10: 59: 56, the failure time of Zhongxing 6B satellite was ***47 minutes, from 1 1: 60. At the same time, because the central radio and television programs are also transmitted through the Sino-3 satellite and the national radio and television private network, the reception of central radio and television programs throughout the country has not been affected during the satellite failure. Bao Ran, editor-in-chief of China Digital TV, told the reporter, "Zhongxing 6B belongs to the C-band, and Xinnuo III is two important radio program satellites, which are mainly used to transmit TV programs." After the satellite transmission accident of "Zhongxing 6B", the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) informed several important organizations about the accident, and the SARFT also announced the accident on the official website that day. The announcement pointed out, "At present, Zhongxing 6B satellite has resumed normal operation, and satellite operator China Live Satellite Co., Ltd. is further searching for the cause of satellite failure and will take measures to ensure the safety of satellite transmission." A related person from China Live Star said, "The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has released some news about the specific cause of the failure, which shall prevail, but it is certainly not a human factor." According to the reporter's understanding, Zhongxing 6B satellite is a communication and broadcasting satellite ordered by China Satcom Group from Terezlunya Space Company ("Terez") in July 2005, and successfully launched in xichang satellite launch center, China on July 5, 2007. It is reported that after the positioning of Zhongxing 6B satellite, satellite manufacturers and users completed the on-orbit test and acceptance as planned, and officially delivered it on August 1 2007. At present, it undertakes the broadcasting of 36 sets of TV programs and 40 sets of voices from CCTV, TV stations of provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, educational TV stations, other TV stations and pay channels/kloc-0. Lv Lijin, an expert of China Satcom, said, "The on-orbit operation time of Zhongxing 6B satellite will reach 16.5 years, and both China Satcom and Terez have made long-term technical support and operation guarantee plans. The accident was purely accidental. " For the direct broadcast satellite company, the problem encountered by Zhongxing 6B this time is not the most serious. 65438 The live broadcast satellite "CIGNA 2" launched on October 29th, 2006/KLOC-0 became "sky garbage" in the past two years because the solar panels and satellite antennas could not be turned on, and its replacement "Zhongxing 9" was successfully launched on June 9th, 2008. The reporter learned that the losses caused by these two satellite accidents exceeded 2 billion yuan, but after that, the company obtained most of the compensation from the insurance company, so the economic losses were not fatal. More importantly, the "Live Star Home" plan promoted by Live Star Company was forced to be postponed for nearly two years. As the only satellite operator in China at present, after the reorganization of Direct Broadcast Satellite Company in 2007, all the satellite resources, business and management teams owned by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, China Satellite Communication Co., Ltd. under China Satellite Communication Group and China Oriental Satellite Co., Ltd. were put into it.
