my country used the Long March 4B carrier rocket at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center to send the Environmental Disaster Mitigation Group 01 satellites into the predetermined orbit in a "one arrow and two stars" method, and the launch mission was successful.
The 01 group of satellites of Environmental Disaster Reduction II includes two 16-meter optical satellites, which have the characteristics of high maneuverability, high precision control, high stability, strong load adaptability and long life. After the satellite enters orbit, it will replace the overdue environmental and disaster monitoring and forecasting satellites A and B, which can serve a wide range of applications for land and resources, water conservancy, agriculture, forestry, and earthquakes, and further meet the country's continuous supply of data in related fields. .
