China sends two global multimedia satellites into planned orbit
JIUQUAN - Two global multimedia satellites were sent into planned orbit from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Northwest China on Sunday.
The two global multimedia satellites, KL-a-A and KL-a-B, was launched by Kuaizhou-1A (KZ-1A), a carrier rocket at 6:00 pm (Beijing Time).
The two satellites are international cooperative commercial projects delivered by the Innovation Academy for Microsatellites of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They are mainly used for the Ka-band communication technology test, and the user is a German company.
KZ-1A is a low-cost solid-fuel carrier rocket with high reliability and a short preparation period. The rocket, developed by a company under the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, is mainly used to launch low-orbit microsatellites.
Sunday's launch was the third mission for KZ-1A this year.
