A 3D-printed giant panda model was sent into space along with nine commercial satellites onboard China s Long March-6 rocket on Tuesday.
The 9.026-cm-tall model, holding a national flag and wearing a spacesuit, was installed on a satellite camera. It is an image jointly created by the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding and Beijing-based tech company SpaceD.
As the satellite orbits Earth, the camera will take pictures of the panda model with the planet from different locations. Researchers and wildlife conservation agencies alone are not enough to save endangered species, said Wu Yongsheng, director of the research base. We hope the giant panda model, as a messenger of wildlife protection and popularization of aerospace knowledge, will encourage more young people to join the protection of biodiversity.

LONDON, April 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Around the world, thousands of species disappear from the earth every year. Scientists believe that human activities are the main factor that accelerates the rapid decline of the earth s biodiversity. Humans consume the natural resources on the earth so fast that they have no time to regenerate. We are destroying animal habitats, food sources, water, air and animals at an unsustainable rate.

These endangered animals include China s national treasure, the giant panda. In fact, even after more than 30 years of artificial reproduction of giant pandas, there are only more than 2,000 giant pandas in existence. As the brand image of HungryPanda, the development status of panda has been paid close attention to for a long time.
