China has successfully launched a satellite, called Remote Sensing 41, which is the first launch of the Long March 5 Yao-6 launch vehicle and the sixth launch of the rocket since 2020. The launch mission was a complete success, marking a new stage in China's space industry. The appearance of the Long March 5 Yao-6 rocket has also undergone some changes, and it has become more elongated. Actually, it's not that the rocket has thinner, it's that it's getting taller. This launch adopted the newly developed thickened and lengthened fairing, which made the height of the whole rocket reach about 63 meters, surpassing the previous Long March 7 rocket and becoming the highest carrier rocket in service in China and even Asia.
It is worth mentioning that the launch of the Remote Sensing 41 satellite is so large that it needs to be launched by a large rocket like the Long March 5. Although the official weight is not given, from 185 meters long, 5The 2-meter-diameter fairing can be inferred that the size of the satellite is about 15 meters, and the diameter is close to 5 meters. The LM-5 has a near-Earth capacity of more than 25 tons, which means that the weight of the Remote Sensing 41 satellite should also be in this range. However, one thing to note is that, according to CCTV, the Remote Sensing 41 satellite belongs to high-orbit optical remote sensing satellites, so it will operate in a higher orbit.
The weight of high-orbit optical remote sensing satellites is usually smaller than that of low-Earth orbit satellites, so the weight of the remote sensing 41 satellite may not reach 25 tons. The specific weight data has not yet been released, but it is certain that this satellite has strong observation capabilities and will provide important support for China's remote sensing technology. High-orbit optical remote sensing satellite is a kind of remote sensing satellite technology widely used in the world, which can make high-resolution observation of the earth in a higher orbit and obtain more accurate surface information. This kind of satellite data has a wide range of applications in agriculture, environmental protection, urban planning and other fields, and can provide important scientific data support.
In addition to the Remote Sensing No. 41 satellite, China also has a series of high-orbit optical remote sensing satellite projects underway, which will further enhance China's remote sensing capabilities. In the future, with the continuous progress of technology, high-orbit optical remote sensing satellites will play an increasingly important role, providing more data support for human understanding and protection of the earth. The rapid development of China's aerospace industry not only reflects the continuous improvement of China's scientific and technological strength, but also provides important support for mankind's exploration of the universe and the protection of the earth. As more and more satellites go into space, humanity will be able to understand the Earth more comprehensively, providing more scientific evidence for future development.
We look forward to more breakthroughs in China's space industry and make greater contributions to the human space industry. The Long March 5 rocket is very powerful enough to launch satellites into different orbits. According to the data, it has a geosynchronous transfer orbit capacity of 14 tons and an Earth-Moon transfer orbit capacity of 825 tons, the ground fire transfer orbital capacity is 52 tons. The launch of the Remote Sensing 41 satellite is orbiting the Earth and therefore does not need to be transferred to the altitude of the transfer orbit.
If it is running on a circular track, then its weight should be around 5 to 8 tons;If it is operated on an elliptical track with a combination of high and low, then its weight should be around 14 tons. Whatever the data, it shows that the size and weight of this satellite are quite large. Because of this, this launch can be called a heavyweight event. The Long March 5 rocket is one of China's largest launch vehicles and is capable of sending huge satellites into space. The mission of this launch is very important.
According to CCTV News, the remote sensing 41 satellite is mainly used in the fields of land census, crop yield estimation, environmental governance, meteorological early warning and forecasting, and comprehensive disaster prevention and mitigation. It is able to provide information services related to the country's economic construction. This satellite is very powerful and will provide important support for the development and construction of our country. The launch of the Remote Sensing-41 satellite is a major achievement in China's space industry. It marks a new breakthrough in the field of satellite technology in China. Through this satellite, we will be able to better understand and monitor important information such as land resources, crop growth, environmental conditions and weather forecasts.
This will not only contribute to the development of the country's economy, but also provide accurate data support for disaster prevention and control. All in all, the Long March 5 rocket successfully launched the remote sensing 41 satellite, which is an important space achievement. This satellite will provide important information services in the fields of land census, crop yield estimation, environmental management, meteorological early warning and forecasting, and comprehensive disaster prevention and mitigation. It will become a powerful support for China's economic construction and development.
