🚀 On Monday morning, China launched the Yaogan-46 remote sensing satellite from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in the southern island province of Hainan on the Chinese mainland.
The satellite lifted off at 11:47 a.m. Beijing Time aboard a modified Long March-7 carrier rocket and smoothly reached its preset orbit. This mission marks the 605th flight of the Long March series.
Once in orbit, Yaogan-46 will play a key role in disaster prevention and mitigation, supporting land resource surveys as well as water conservancy and meteorological monitoring 🌧️📡. These data help communities plan, respond to environmental challenges, and improve resilience.
High-resolution images and measurements from satellites like Yaogan-46 empower professionals, researchers, and students to map changes over time, predict extreme weather, and manage water resources more effectively 🌍✨.
This launch highlights how space technology can have real-world impact below. Stay tuned for more updates from the stars! 🚀🌟
