Hey space fans! π Guess what? China just did something super cool! On Monday, they launched four satellites into space from a rocket in the sea! π
China’s private space company, Galactic Energy, used their special rocket called CERES-1S Y5 to send the last four satellites for their big “Tianqi” project. This project is all about connecting things around the world using the Internet of Things (IoT). Sounds fancy, right? π Basically, it means devices can talk to each other across the globe!
These satellites help with all sorts of things like helping farmers grow crops πΎ, keeping forests healthy π³, assisting in emergencies π, and even making our cities smarter ποΈ! Isn’t that amazing?
This was Galactic Energy’s 19th mission, and they’ve sent a total of 81 satellites into space! Their CERES-1 rocket is super powerful. It can carry heavy stuff into space, and they can launch it from land or sea. How awesome is that? π
So, the next time you look up at the night sky, think about all the satellites up there helping make our world better! π
