China launches pair of SuperView Neo-2 radar satellites
- China launched a pair of radar satellites late Sunday for a state-owned firm building a 28-satellite remote sensing constellation. A Long March 2C rocket lifted off at 6:39 p.m.
China successfully launched two SuperView Neo-2 radar satellites into orbit on January 10, 2023, using a Long March 2D rocket from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. These satellites, part of a planned 20-satellite constellation, are designed to provide high-resolution imagery with a resolution of 0.5 meters, enhancing China's capabilities in remote sensing, disaster monitoring, and environmental protection. The SuperView Neo-2 satellites are equipped with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology, allowing them to capture images regardless of weather conditions or time of day. This launch marks a significant step in China's ambition to expand its Earth observation capabilities, with plans to complete the constellation by 2024.
