China Vitae

Biography

Yu Menglun, male, Han nationality, is a native of Yuyao, Zhejiang Province. He graduated from Beijing University.

Yu spent his career as a researcher in the Beijing Space Navigation Systems Engineering Research Institute. Yu engaged in practical trajectory project design and made great contributions to the development of the ballistic missile and large-scale carrier rocket in China.

With respect to the research and manufacture of intercontinental missiles, Yu advanced a plan of low trajectory simulative reentering environments and solved the problem of trajectory design in the domestic intercontinental missile test. He studied the best trajectory for the launching of returning satellites in China and adopted the thrust procedure optimization method and greatly improved the carry ability of rockets.

His accomplishments also include the advancement of the optimized berthing on track plan and resolution of the track design problem in the first launching of a synchronous comsat in China. He brought forward the plan for the high altitude wind trajectory revision and laid the foundation for solving the effect of high altitude wind on rocket flying. Yu optimized the design of large-scale trussing up type carrier rocket in China and suggested the trajectory design plan of optimized design on the integration of overall parameter of rocket and trajectory.

He was elected to the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1999.
