At 15:43 on November 3, at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in China, the upper stage of the Long March 2 C carrier rocket/Expedition 1s sent two satellites of the 32nd group of remote sensing into the predetermined orbit in the form of "one arrow and two stars", and the launch mission was a complete success.
▲ The Long 2C rocket ignition lifted off
▲ The Long Two C rocket soared into the sky
The Changer-C rocket is a normal temperature liquid carrier rocket developed by the First Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, which mainly performs the task of launching satellites in sun-synchronous orbit, and has the ability to launch one arrow and one satellite, one arrow and multiple satellites and constellation deployment.
This year is the year of the high-density launch of the Long 2C rocket. Up to now, it has carried out launch missions at jiuquan, Taiyuan and Xichang three launch sites, setting a record for the highest number of launches per year.
▲ Rocket transport
This mission is the third launch of the expedition one s-upper stage. On October 9, 2018, Expedition 1 S first flight, paired with the Chang 2C rocket, successfully launched the remote sensing 32 01 group satellite. On August 24, 2021, the Changer-C rocket/Expedition 1s upper stage successfully launched three communication technology test satellites.
▲ Rocket hoisting
The remote sensing No. 32 Group 02 satellite was developed by Aerospace Dongfanghong Satellite Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group, and is mainly used to carry out electromagnetic environment detection and related technical tests.
▲ Closed cover
This mission is the 394th launch of the Long March series of carrier rockets.
