China launched the Lijian-1 launch vehicle for the first time, launching six satellites into orbit. Xinhua reported this on Wednesday, July 27.
The launch was carried out at 12:12 Beijing time (07:12 Kyiv time) from the Jiuquan Cosmodrome in the north of the country.
It is known that the experimental spacecraft put into orbit will be used to observe the Earth’s atmosphere and test electromagnetic devices.
The Lijian-1 four-stage launch vehicle is China’s largest solid-propellant rocket. It is capable of launching a payload of about 1,500 kg into a sun-synchronous orbit with an altitude of 500 kilometers.
