Hey space fans! Guess what? China just sent a new satellite into space! π
On Thursday at 12:12 p.m. Beijing Time, a big rocket called the Long March-4B blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China. It carried a satellite named Shijian-26 up into space. How cool is that?
The Shijian-26 satellite will help with important things like mapping the land and taking care of the environment. It gives useful information to support China’s development.
Did you know? This was the 579th time a Long March rocket has flown into space! That’s a lot of rocket launches!
Space exploration is amazing, and each new satellite helps us learn more about our planet and beyond! πβ¨
