Hey space fans! π
China has done it again! On Saturday, they launched a brand-new satellite called Zhongxing-10R into space. π The satellite took off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, which is in the southwestern province of Sichuan. πΊοΈ
The launch happened at 8:11 p.m. Beijing Time, and they used the powerful Long March-3B carrier rocket. This rocket is like a giant spaceship that carries satellites into space! π°οΈ
Guess what? This was the 560th flight of the Long March rocket series! That’s a lot of trips to space! πβ¨
The Zhongxing-10R satellite successfully reached its orbit, which means it’s now circling around Earth and doing its important job. Isn’t space exploration amazing? π
What do you think satellites like Zhongxing-10R do up there in space? Share your thoughts! π¬
