Beijing, 25 November (Hindustan Reporter). China today launched the 2C carrier rocket under the 547th mission of its rocket Long March series. This rocket placed two satellites in space. The rocket lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China at 7:39 a.m. (Beijing time) and sent a pair of satellites, Siwei Gaojing-203 and Siwei Gaojing-204, into a predetermined orbit.
This information has been given in China’s government news agency Xinhua news. It states that it has been developed by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology. Siwei Gaojing-203 and Siwei Gaojing-204 are commercial microwave mapping satellites owned by China Siwei Surveying and Mapping Technology Co., Ltd. Siwei satellites are equipped with high-precision radar payloads.
The academy said the use of new technologies in the two new satellites will increase payload efficiency by 25 percent and significantly improve the accuracy of surveying and mapping products. This will meet China’s pressing need for commercial survey and mapping data. Siwei satellites will be mainly used in areas such as natural resources, urban security, emergency management and maritime applications.
