  • Mapping satellites expected to provide data on natural resources, urban safety, emergency response and maritime affairs.

China has marked a significant advancement in its space capabilities with the successful launch of three self-driving radar satellites into orbit. These satellites, part of the L-SAR 01 constellation, were deployed using a Long March 2D rocket from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Centre in Shanxi province. The satellites are designed to provide high-resolution, all-weather, and day-and-night imaging capabilities, which will enhance China's ability to monitor natural disasters, environmental changes, and support various scientific research. This launch not only underscores China's growing prowess in satellite technology but also its strategic focus on improving its space-based reconnaissance and surveillance systems.
