China Launches 2 Satellites with Long March-2C Rocket

China has successfully launched two satellites into orbit using its Long March-2C rocket, marking another milestone in the nation’s ambitious space exploration program.

The launch took place at 7:39 AM Beijing time on Monday from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China.

The satellites, named "Siyuan Gaoxin-2 03" and "Siyuan Gaoxin-2 04", were deployed into their designated orbit with precision.

This mission represents the 547th launch in the Long March rocket series, showcasing the consistent reliability of China's space technology.

This launch follows significant advancements made by China in recent months. In September, China launched its first reusable experimental satellite, "Shijian-19", using the Long March-2D rocket.

This groundbreaking mission aimed to test reusable satellite technology, a leap forward in cost-effective space missions.

In October, Chinese satellite internet company ADA Space announced that one of its recently launched satellites had successfully validated advanced AI capabilities during its orbital operations.

Between September 25 and October 5, the satellite conducted 13 large AI model tests under varying operational and thermal conditions, demonstrating the potential for AI-driven space missions.
