Four vehicles will join the Tianmu-1 orbital constellation, collecting data on the atmosphere and ionosphere.
Chinese booster Kuaizhou-1A four meteorological satellites were successfully launched into orbit to replenish the orbital constellation Tianmu-1. This was reported on March 22 by Xinhua News Agency.
It was noted that the rocket was launched from the Jiuquan Cosmodrome on Wednesday at 17.09 Beijing time (at 11.09 Kyiv time).
The satellites will collect data on various atmospheric particles and monitor changes in the world’s oceans, atmosphere and ionosphere.
