The third group of China’s Yaogan-31 remote sensing satellites were launched into space from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China at 10:22 a.m. (Beijing Time) on Wednesday, February 24.
The satellites were carried by a Long March-4C rocket and this was the 361st flight mission of this carrier rocket series, the launch center said.
Having entered their planned orbits, the satellites will be used for electromagnetic environment surveys and other related technology tests.
China launched the first and second Yaogan-31 satellite groups on April 10, 2018, and January 29, 2021, respectively.
