China sent a new group of satellites into space on Tuesday from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in northern Shanxi Province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launched at 2:50 a.m. (Beijing Time) aboard a Long March-2D carrier rocket, the satellite group, the PIESAT-2 09-12 satellites, entered the preset orbits successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch marks the 553rd flight mission of the Long March carrier rocket series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites, developed by private satellite maker GalaxySpace, feature superior capabilities, including all-day, all-weather, and high-resolution Earth observation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Duan Xiao, chief designer of SAR satellite at GalaxySpace, multiple SAR satellites can improve revisit rates for various network applications, supporting high-resolution imaging, high-frequency observation, and regular global coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This enables millimeter-level deformation measurements of targets like dams and bridges, serving applications such as land resources, earthquake monitoring, disaster prevention and mitigation, basic geographic information acquisition, and forestry, Duan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GalaxySpace has been continuously improving the overall development capabilities of SAR satellites, with eight batch-produced SAR satellites delivered so far, Duan added. \u25a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
