Hey space fans 🚀, did you hear? The Chinese mainland’s Long March-8A rocket soared into the early morning sky from Hainan’s commercial site, sending 10 fresh low Earth orbit satellites on their way. This marks the 10th batch of satellites for an expanding internet constellation.
At 3:08 a.m., the 50.5-meter-tall, 371-tonne Long March-8A blasted off, showcasing its power. It’s designed to carry up to 7 tonnes to a 700-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit—a key route for internet constellation satellites. Pretty impressive, right? 💪🌐
These satellites are part of a growing internet constellation that promises more coverage and connectivity. Whether you’re streaming, gaming, or catching up on your fav social feeds, this space fleet is gearing up to boost our digital lives. Stay tuned for more cosmic updates! 👽✨
