China’s aerospace capabilities reached another milestone on Saturday with the successful deployment of an Algerian remote sensing satellite from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China. The mission, executed precisely at 12:01 pm Beijing Time, utilized a Long March-2C carrier rocket to transport the satellite into its designated orbit.
This collaborative space endeavor between China and Algeria focuses on practical Earth observation applications. The newly deployed satellite is specifically engineered to support land planning initiatives and enhance disaster prevention and mitigation capabilities for the North African nation. The sophisticated remote sensing technology will provide valuable data for urban development, agricultural management, and emergency response coordination.
The launch represents a significant achievement in international space cooperation, demonstrating China’s growing role as a reliable partner in global space missions. This mission also marks the 629th flight of China’s Long March rocket series, underscoring the program’s extensive experience and technical maturity in space launch operations. The consistent performance of these rockets has established China as a major player in the competitive satellite launch industry, capable of serving both domestic and international space objectives.
