    China Launches Reusable Satellite, Shijian-19, into Space

    China launches reusable satellite, the Shijian-19, on Friday. The satellite was sent into orbit using a Long March-2D rocket.

    Successful Launch from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center

    The Long March-2D rocket lifted off at 18:30 Beijing Time from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China. The Shijian-19 satellite aims to enhance China’s technological capabilities in space by achieving advancements in several critical areas.

    Breakthrough Technologies for Enhanced Space Research

    The Shijian-19 satellite has incorporated breakthroughs in reusability, microgravity support, high payload capacity, and re-entry testing services. These innovations will boost China’s returnable satellite technology, improving application efficiency and reducing operational costs. This development supports China’s effort to rapidly transition new technologies from research to practical use.

    The satellite will conduct space breeding experiments, carrying plant seeds selected from different regions. Space breeding benefits include high mutation efficiency, shorter breeding cycles, and valuable genetic variations. These experiments will help advance China’s space breeding technology and promote the innovation of germplasm resources. This progress supports China’s pursuit of technological self-reliance in seed development.

    Supporting Technological Development and International Cooperation

    Researchers plan to utilise the satellite’s reusability for various space experiments. The Shijian-19 will provide in-orbit testing opportunities for domestic components and materials, contributing to the advancement of new space technologies and fostering research in microgravity science and space life sciences.

    The Shijian-19 also carries payloads from five countries, including Thailand and Pakistan. This international collaboration highlights China’s commitment to global cooperation in space exploration.

    This mission marks the 537th flight of the Long March series rockets, demonstrating the reliability and progress of China’s space programme.
