The successful launch of "Macao Science No. 1" will significantly improve the level of space magnetic survey technology in China.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen yeung233 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, May 21, CTOnews.com learned from CCTV news that 16:00 on May 21, the long March 2C carrier rocket successfully lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite launch Center, sending Macao Science 1 satellite An and B and Wuhan University Luoga II 01 satellite into orbit in parallel with one arrow, and the launch mission was a complete success.

The Macao Science-1 satellite is the first scientific satellite jointly developed by the mainland and Macao, and it is also the first scientific satellite in the world to explore the geomagnetic field and space environment at low latitudes. It adopts the joint observation mode of "A satellite + B satellite". It will provide valuable data for human long-term study of geomagnetic field evolution, and further promote China's research in the fields of space weather prediction and space operation safety of spacecraft.

This launch is the 474th launch of the long March series of carrier rockets.
