China Launches Solid Carrier Rocket “Lijian-1”
Today, July 27th at 12:12AM local time, carrier rocket “Lijian-1” successfully launched at China’s Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The rocket is carrying six scientific experiment satellites: a new space technology test satellite, an orbital atmospheric density detection test satellite, a low orbit quantum key distribution test satellite, an electromagnetic assembly test double satellite, and the South Guangdong Science star. The satellites were put into predetermined orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success. “Lijian-1” is a solid carrier rocket independently developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, while the six satellites are used for space exploration, atmospheric density detection, technical verification and other similar experimental uses.
