The spacecraft was launched into low-Earth orbit by a modified Long March-6 launch vehicle launched from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center.

China launched a new Earth remote sensing satellite, Yunhai-3 02, into space on the morning of March 27, which will make it possible to predict natural disasters with higher accuracy and prevent their catastrophic consequences. This was reported by Xinhua.

The spacecraft was launched into low-Earth orbit by a modified Long March-6 launch vehicle, launched from the Taiyuan Cosmodrome in northern Shanxi province at 6:51 local time (0:51 Kiev time). This launch was the 514th mission for the Changzheng series launch vehicles.

The satellite will be used to monitor the atmosphere and marine environment and outer space, conduct scientific experiments, identify signs of the formation of dangerous atmospheric phenomena and predict natural disasters and reduce their consequences.

It was previously reported that the United States is launching satellites to track hypersonic weapons.

Let’s recall that in Japan the launch of the private launch vehicle KAIROS-1, which was supposed to launch a government reconnaissance satellite into orbit, failed.
