低谷 内外交困 从1996年2月15日、8月18日长征火箭两次发射失利后,国际用户对长征火箭的可靠性产生了怀疑,保险费率居高不下,严重影响了我们的市场竞争能力。加上自1997年下半年开始,美国反华势力借口中国利用发射美制卫星获取了导弹技术,而停发了美制卫星运往中国发射的许可证,导致自1996年下半年到2000年的4年间,中国航天对外发射服务只签到一个发射服务合同,对外发射任务由曾经一年6次,一下子下降到零。中国航天对外发射服务活动走入了低谷。 Depression Internal and diplomatic difficulties Following the two launches of the Long March rocket on February 15 and August 18, 1996, international users questioned the reliability of the Long March rocket, and the high insurance premium rate has seriously affected our market competitiveness. In addition, starting in the second half of 1997, the US anti-China forces used China to launch missiles using the US-made satellites and stopped sending US-made satellites to China for launching licenses, resulting in four years from the second half of 1996 to the year 2000 in China. The Aerospace External Launch Service only signs a launch service contract. External launch missions have been used six times a year and have dropped to zero. China Aerospace’s launch service activities have reached a low point.
