One more general has been added to the international team for detecting gamma storms! This is the latest achievement of Sino French space cooperation - the Sino French Astronomical Satellite (SVOM). On the afternoon of June 22nd, at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, accompanied by the roar of the valley, the Long March 2C carrier rocket carrying the flags of China and France carried the Sino French astronomical satellite into the sky, launching an important mission to explore gamma storms. At 15:00 on June 22, at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, the Sino French Astronomical Satellite (SVOM) was lifted up by the Long March-2C carrier rocket and then entered the designated orbit. The launch mission was successfully completed and will begin an important mission to explore gamma storms. At the launch site of Xinhua News Agency (photographed by Chen Haojie), applause and cheers continued, and Chinese and French researchers couldn't hide their excitement and embraced each other. From the launch of the demonstration in 2005 to the successful launch today, in the past 20 years, with a flick of a finger, many researchers have gone from having blue hair on their heads to turning white at their temples. "The Sino French astronomical satellites have accompanied me through most of my career." Zhang Yonghe, a 47 year old Chinese project manager for Sino French astronomical satellites, said that he participated in the Sino French astronomical satellite project in his second year of work, growing from an engineer to a Chinese project manager. "Now that satellites have been successfully launched and flown in space, I feel extremely happy and look forward to future scientific discoveries!" he said. "He was quite young at that time." Gonzalez Francis, the project manager of the French side who has also been accompanying the Sino French astronomical satellites, recalled the scene of meeting Zhang Yonghe for the first time. Nearly 20 years ago, through this project, people from different cultural backgrounds came to work together. But now, we have become a true team. We understand each other, overcome difficulties together, and establish a strong friendship. Over the past 20 years, scientists and engineers from China and France have transformed from strangers to "old friends", and the aerospace industry of the two countries continues to deepen cooperation and hear good news. In 2018, the China France Ocean Satellite was successfully launched. In 2023, China donated 1.5g of scientific lunar samples to France. In 2024, the Chang'e-6 probe landed on the far side of the moon with international payloads from the European Space Agency, France, Italy, and Pakistan... "We have seen the rapid development of China's aerospace industry." Bertrand Cordier, Chief Scientist of the French side of the China France Astronomical Satellite, said that through cooperation, we can complete larger projects together and do better. The Sino French astronomical satellites are like a microcosm, reflecting the increasingly "international" circle of friends in China's aerospace industry. China and Brazil have jointly developed six China Brazil Earth resource satellites, benefiting fields such as agriculture, forestry, and water resource management; The National Space Administration has issued a notice on international cooperation opportunities for the Chang'e-8 mission, opening up international cooperation opportunities for the Chang'e-8 mission to the international community and welcoming countries and international organizations to join... China is working with other countries to promote better space technology for the benefit of people around the world. Liu Yunfeng, Deputy Director of the International Cooperation Department of the National Space Administration, said that we look forward to deepening space exchanges and cooperation with the international community, and making greater contributions to human exploration of the universe.
