Hey Space Fans! ๐ Guess what happened on Friday? China launched a Pakistani satellite into space! Isn’t that cool? Let’s dive into this exciting news!
At exactly 12:07 p.m. Beijing Time, a big rocket called the Long March-2D blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China. Onboard was Pakistan’s satellite named PRSC-EO1. It zoomed into space and reached its planned orbit successfully! ๐
But that’s not all! The rocket was carrying two other satellites too. Their names are Tianlu-1 and Lantan-1. So, three satellites went into space together! ๐๐โจ
This launch was super special because it was the 556th time a Long March rocket has flown into space. That’s a lot of trips! ๐
Satellites like PRSC-EO1 help us with many things, like taking pictures of Earth, predicting the weather, and making communication easier. Who knows, maybe one day you’ll work on a satellite mission too! ๐ฐ๏ธ
Space exploration brings countries together, and this launch is a great example of teamwork between China and Pakistan. Way to go, space teams! ๐ค
Keep looking up at the stars, and maybe one day, you’ll be part of an amazing space adventure! โจ
