A LM-4B launch vehicle was launched from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center at 13:57 Beijing time on September 7,transferring the Gaofen 11-02 satellite into its preset orbit successfully.
Gaofen 11-02 is an optical remote sensing satellite developed by CAST,which will be mainly used for land surveys,city planning,land-right confirmation,road network design,crop yield estimation and disaster prevention and mitigation,providing information support for the implementation of national ma-jor strategies such as the Belt and Road Initiative as well as the construction of national defense.
The satellite will increase greatly the observation efficiency after networking with the other Gaofen 11 satellite in orbit.
The LM-4B is a three-stage conventional liquid launch vehicle with the capability of launching one or several satellites into different orbits on a rocket.This was the 345th flight of the Long March family of launch vehicles.(JIANG Qiongqiong/China Space News)
