Satellites launched into space include the Jilin-1 Gaofen series satellite, the Yunyao-1 and Xiguan-1 series, and the Earth remote sensing satellite launched for Oman.
China launched the Lijian-1 Y5 commercial launch vehicle on November 11, carrying 15 Earth observation satellites, including a remote sensing spacecraft, into low-Earth orbit. CGTN reports.
The rocket was spotted being launched from the pilot zone for commercial space launches in northwest China.
As known, satellites Jilin-1 can acquire high-resolution images of the earth’s surface, which are used for emergency rescue operations, resource exploration, environmental monitoring and several other areas.
Series devices Yunyao is designed for monitoring agricultural land and meteorological observations and collect data about the atmosphere – its temperature, humidity, pressure and density.
Light-class solid-fuel four-stage launch vehicle Lijian-1 developed by the commercial company CAS Space, founded by the Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Its first flight took place in July 2022, and today is the 5th mission, during which the launch vehicle launched a total of 57 satellites into space.
The last time the rocket was launched was on September 25, when it launched five satellites into space.
Let’s recall that on October 16, China launched a group of 18 Gaofen Internet satellites into orbit. This is the second batch of the Spacesail Constellation orbital constellation.
It was also reported that China launched the SmartDragon-3 space launch vehicle with eight satellites from an offshore platform in the Yellow Sea on September 24.
