Hey space enthusiasts! 🚀 Guess what? China has just launched the first group of satellites for their new internet constellation! 🌐
On Monday, at 6 p.m. Beijing Time, a rocket called the Long March-5B blasted off from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan Province, which is a tropical island in south China. The rocket carried a special part called the Yuanzheng-2 (which means Expedition-2) upper stage on top.
These satellites are now in their preset orbits around Earth. This is super exciting because they will help provide internet coverage from space! 📡
This launch was extra special because it was the 552nd mission of the Long March series of rockets. That’s a lot of trips to space! 🚀
Isn’t it amazing how we can connect to the internet even from space? Maybe one day, you’ll be part of a space mission too! 🌟
