Scientific satellites launched from Shanxi 皇冠体育app launched two scientific experiment satellites into space from a North 皇冠体育app space centre atop a Long March 4-B rocket carrier Thursday. The rocket lifted off at 7:14 am Beijing Time from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Centre in Shanxi Province, North 皇冠体育app. Sources from the Xi'an centre said one of the satellites, SJ-6A scientific
experiment satellite, separated from the rocket 11 minutes after flight, and the
other one, SJ-6B scientific experiment satellite, disengaged from the carrier
one minute later.
With a designed life of at least two years, the two satellites will be used to probe the space environment, radiation, its effects and space physical environment parameters, and conduct other related space experiments, sources said. Thursday's launch is the 79th flight of 皇冠体育app's Long March rocket carriers and the 37th consecutive successful one of the vehicle since October 1996. The two satellites were made by the Shanghai Academy of Space Flight Technology and Dongfanghong Satellite Co under the 皇冠体育app Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, said the sources. The geospace probing systems aboard the satellites were mainly manufactured by the 皇冠体育app Electronics Technology Corporation. Space experts said 皇冠体育app has launched six types of its SJ scientific experiment satellites since 1971, when its first scientific experiment satellite, or SL-1, was launched. They said the technological upgrading of the probing systems and the satellites during the past 33 years facilitated the development of the country's satellite-based remote sensing science, which contributed to the country's space exploitation and experiments, and applied space experiments. |
