At 7:45 a.m. on the 16th, Beijing time, my country used the Long March 4C carrier rocket at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to successfully launch the Gaofen-1205 satellite. The satellite successfully entered the predetermined orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.Gaofen-12-05, as a powerful satellite,It will play an important role in many key areas such as land census, urban planning, land rights confirmation, road network design, crop yield estimation, and disaster prevention and reduction.Contribute scientific and technological strength to the construction and development of the country.
The protagonist of this launch mission, the Long March 4C carrier rocket, was carefully developed by the Eighth Academy. It is a room-temperature liquid three-stage carrier rocket with excellent performance and wide application.Its design is flexible and can develop personalized launch plans according to the needs of different types of satellites.
Whether it is the launch of a single satellite or multiple satellites, Long March 4C can easily handle it, showing strong adaptability. Especially in sun-synchronous circular orbit, its carrying capacity can reach 3 tons (orbital altitude 700 kilometers), further broadening its application scope in the field of space launch.
Looking back on 2024, the Long March 4 series launch vehicles have successfully completed 4 launch missions, each time demonstrating its excellent performance and reliability. This launch is not only the 108th successful launch of the Long March 4 series of launch vehicles, but also the 540th successful launch in the history of the entire Long March series of launch vehicles, once again demonstrating my country's strong strength and continuous progress in the field of aerospace technology.
