LM-2D carrier rockets placed two land survey satellites into their preset orbits from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at 15:10 Beijing time on January 13 and 15:10 Beijing time on March 17 respectively.
The satellites were developed by DFH Satellite Co., Ltd. under the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST).They will be mainly used for remote sensing observation of land resources.
The LM-2D carrier rocket was developed by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST). They were the third and fourth launch missions of the LM-2D carrier rocket in 2018 after launching Superview-1 03/04, Zhangheng 1 and other 6 small satellites into orbit,thus fully verifying the reliability and highintensity launch ability of the rocket.
The missions were the 263rd and 268th flights of the LM series launch vehicle respectively.
