Thu 25 November 2021:

China on Thursday sent a new satellite into space from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China.

 The satellite was successfully launched into orbit by the Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket, which was built in China.

The Kuaizhou-1A rocket series took a flight for the 13th time.

“Shiyan-11 is designed for testing, but the satellite’s latest mission has yet to be revealed,” public broadcaster CGTN reported.

The last Shiyan satellite, the Shiyan-10, “didn’t work as intended after being successfully launched into the planned orbit.”

Kuaizhou-1A is a small-sized rocket that has fast deployment speed and is designed and manufactured by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation.

It was the second launch of a satellite by China this week.

On Tuesday, China sent into space an Earth-observation satellite from the same Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

The satellite was successfully launched into orbit by a Long March-4C rocket.

The satellite is expected to aid in the monitoring of marine ship observations, as well as the monitoring of emergencies at sea and the land-sea natural environment.

It was the Long March rockets’ 398th flight.
