Exciting news from the world of space exploration! 🌌 On Monday, the Chinese mainland successfully launched two high-resolution radar satellites from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China.
The mission was carried out by a Long March-2C rocket, which blasted off at 7:39 a.m., deploying the satellites Siwei Gaojing-2 03 and 04 into their designated orbits. 🚀
Developed by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, these satellites are equipped with cutting-edge phased array radar loads. This technology allows them to provide all-day, all-weather, high-resolution radar images, which are essential for monitoring natural resources, enhancing urban security, managing emergencies, and overseeing maritime affairs. 🛰️🔍
The Long March-2C rocket, a liquid-propellant rocket developed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, is a reliable workhorse for launching low-orbit and sun-synchronous orbit satellites. It operates from all three of China’s main launch sites: Xichang, Jiuquan, and Taiyuan.
This successful launch marks the 547th flight mission of the Long March rocket series, showcasing China’s growing prowess in space technology. Stay tuned to NewspaperAmigo.com for more updates on space missions and other groundbreaking developments! 🌍💬✨
