China launched a new-generation ocean observation satellite into space on Thursday, marking the country’s 53rd rocket launch this year.<\/p>\n

The HY-3A satellite was launched atop a Long March 2C carrier rocket at 11:55 am from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Northwest China. The satellite successfully reached its preset orbit shortly after liftoff.<\/p>\n

Developed by the China Academy of Space Technology in Beijing, the HY-3A is designed to monitor ocean colors and features world-class operational capability. It is equipped with a variety of advanced equipment, including a marine color and temperature scanner and a coastline imager.<\/p>\n

The satellite is expected to work for at least eight years and will collaborate with the HY-1C and HY-1D satellites. Data obtained by the HY-1C and HY-1D satellites has been used in the monitoring and forecast of incidents such as green tide, typhoons, and oil spills, as well as in the mariculture sector.<\/p>\n

Users of the new satellite include the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and the China Meteorological Administration.<\/p>\n

The Long March 2C rocket is 43 meters long and 3.35 meters wide, with a liftoff weight of 242.5 metric tons. The rocket is primarily used to deploy satellites to low-Earth and sun-synchronous orbits.<\/p>\n

The mission was the 497th flight of the Long March rocket family, China’s main launch vehicle fleet.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
