China Sends Shijian-28 Satellite into Space
The Shijian-28 satellite achieved orbital insertion at 8.20 pm Beijing Time (1220GMT) aboard an upgraded Long March-7 carrier rocket, successfully arriving at its predetermined orbit.
The launch represents the 611th operational flight of domestically-produced Long March rockets, media reported. This milestone underscores China's accelerating pace in space technology development and its expanding satellite constellation capabilities for various strategic and commercial applications.
The Wenchang facility, positioned on Hainan's coastal region, serves as one of China's primary launch centers for missions requiring equatorial positioning advantages. The modified Long March-7 rocket utilized in this operation demonstrates ongoing enhancements to the carrier vehicle's payload capacity and operational efficiency.
Previously on Nov. 19, China deployed a trio of satellites—Shijian-30A, Shijian-30B, and Shijian-30C—designated for space environment exploration and related technology verification.
