The Chinese mainland launched a new group of remote sensing satellites from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province on Tuesday. 🌟
A Long March-4B carrier rocket, carrying the Yaogan-43 02 satellites, blasted off at 9:22 a.m. Beijing Time. The satellites have successfully entered their preset orbit, marking a significant milestone in space technology.
These satellites will primarily be used to test new technologies for low-orbit constellation systems, paving the way for more advanced and efficient space operations. 🛰️
The Long March-4B rocket is a three-stage carrier rocket powered with liquid fuel under normal temperature conditions. It is capable of launching various types of satellites to different orbits and can carry a payload of up to 2.5 tonnes to a sun-synchronous circular orbit.
Tuesday's launch was the 533rd flight mission of the Long March series rockets, highlighting the continued advancements and reliability of China's space launch capabilities. 🚀
