A large unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), Ganlin-1, recently made a successful maiden flight for generating artificial precipitation in northwest China s Gansu Province, in the latest efforts to use technology for ecological protection.
During the flight, Ganlin-1 conducted operations such as atmospheric detection and catalyst spreading to generate precipitation. The use of UAVs for precipitation enhancement will help increase ice and snow reserves, promote the ecological restoration and protection of the Qilian Mountains and mitigate water shortage in parts of Gansu Province, said Wang Chenghai, a professor at Lanzhou University, adding the glaciers and snow resources of the mountain range are shrinking as a result of climate change.

Technicians prepare large UAV, Ganlin-1, meaning sweet rain in Chinese, for its maiden flight at Jinchuan airport in Jinchang City in northwest China s Gansu Province, Jan. 6, 2021. China deployed a large unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on Wednesday for generating artificial precipitation in northwest China s Gansu Province, with an aim of boosting ecological protection. During its maiden voyage, which lasted around 40 minutes, Ganlin-1 maintained stable flight and successfully conducted weather-modification operations, such as atmospheric detection and catalyst spreading to generate precipitation, as well as the de-icing of the UAV itself. This innovative move in ecological protection marks the launch of China s first large UAV-based weather-modification system, filling the country s gap in the field. The UAV is capable of long-range atmospheric sounding, air-data acquisition and catalyst seedin
