Hey space fans! 🛰️ Guess what? On Saturday, a super cool rocket named ZQ-2E Y2 zoomed into space from northwest China, carrying six satellites! Isn’t that amazing? 🌟
The rocket took off at exactly 12:12 p.m. Beijing Time from a place called the Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Pilot Zone, which is near the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. That’s a big spaceport in the desert where many rockets are launched! 🏜️
This isn’t the first time the ZQ-2 rocket has flown. In fact, it’s the fifth flight of the ZQ-2 series. But this rocket, the ZQ-2E, is a special, upgraded version. It’s like the new and improved model of your favorite game console! 🎮
The company behind this rocket is called LandSpace, based in Beijing. They said the ZQ-2E is better than the original ZQ-2 because it’s more compact (that means it’s smaller and uses space better) and has a more powerful engine! That means it can carry more stuff into space. How cool is that? 🚀
Sending satellites into space helps us with lots of things, like weather forecasting, GPS navigation, and even watching TV! So, this rocket launch is a big deal for technology and science. Maybe one day, you’ll be the one building rockets or exploring space! 🌌
What do you think about this awesome rocket launch? Would you like to visit a rocket launch site someday? Let us know! 👩🚀👨🚀
