SHANGHAI, May 10 (Xinhua) A China-made meteorological satellite for dawn-dusk orbits has passed a factory review in Shanghai, one step closer to launching it into space, its developer said Monday.
The satellite is called Fengyun-3E (FY-3E) and was designed and built by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology, affiliated with the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. It will be the world s first meteorological satellite in a dawn-dusk orbit.
A dawn-dusk orbit is a sun-synchronous orbit where the satellite tracks but never moves into the Earth s shadow. Since the satellite is close to the shadow, the part of Earth directly above it is always at sunset or sunrise, hence the name dawn-dusk orbit.
