On Friday, China launched a CERES - 1 Y 8 carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China, sending a new satellite into a planned orbit.
The Jilin 1 Kuanfu 02 A satellite was launched at the launch site on Monday at 12: 59 p.m. Beijing Time.
The launch was the eighth flight mission to use the CERES 1 rocket series and the fourth consecutive launch mission of the CERES 1 rocket series this year.
CERES - 1, a small-scale solid-propellant carrier rocket developed by Galactic Energy in Beijing, is a small-scale solid-propellant carrier capable of sending micro-satellites into orbit. With the ability to carry multiple satellites, it can serve a range of specific launch missions.
With a length of 20 meters, the Rocket has a takeoff weight of 33 tons. It can carry an orbital payload of 300 kg at an altitude of 500 km.
Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co. Ltd. developed the Jilin - 1 Kuanfu 02 A satellite. It can offer images with a width of more than 150 km and a resolution of 0.5 meters.
This satellite will work with the previously launched satellites of the Jilin - 1 family to form a constellation, providing remote sensing data and services to fields like land survey, smart city construction, agriculture and forestry.
