China on Wednesday launched a Long March 2D rocket placing a satellite into space.

The Long March carrier rocket family, China's backbone launch vehicle fleet, has set a new record for successful consecutive launches after a Long March 2D launch over the weekend, according to the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp, the country's leading space contractor.

China launched a carbon and ecosystem monitoring satellite and two smaller payloads with the countrys 28th launch of 2022 late on Wednesday (Aug. 3).

China added three new satellites to its classified Yaogan Earth observation and reconnaissance series with the latest launch out of the hills around Xichang.

Chinese space experts plan to effectively clear junk from Earth's atmosphere using a massive satellite sail.

China has unfolded a large sail attached to a rocket component following a recent launch, as part of tests designed to help reduce the amount of space junk orbiting Earth.

Space junk has been a major problem when it comes to space travel in the recent past and it has been the main reason behind spacecrafts sustaining considerable damage. According to an estimate, around 9000 satellites have been launched in the orbit till now with 5000 among them not functional anymore. As a result, they have been stranded in the orbit where they have become a problem for the operational ones. However, the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology seems to have found a solution t...
