Hey tech enthusiasts! 🚀 In a bold leap for space innovation, China launched a new batch of low-Earth orbit internet satellites on Monday. The launch took place at a commercial spacecraft site in Hainan, marking another stellar moment in the country's space endeavors.
The rocket, a Long March-12 developed by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology, blasted off at 6:21 p.m. Beijing Time. This new-generation two-stage carrier rocket is capable of sending payloads of at least 12 tonnes to low-Earth orbit and up to 6 tonnes to a sun-synchronous orbit at 700 kilometers.
This mission, the second for the Long March-12 since its debut last November, also marks the 587th flight of the Long March series. A huge milestone that not only boosts global connectivity prospects but also highlights the dynamic progress in space technology.
Stay tuned for more updates as these innovative satellites pave the way for enhanced internet connectivity and advanced tech trends around the globe! 🌟
