China launches satellite for ocean salinity detection

 Sydney, Australia (SPX) Nov 14, 2024

China launched a new satellite designed to detect ocean salinity on Thursday from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi Province, northern China, as reported by the China National Space Administration (CNSA).

The satellite was successfully sent into orbit at 6:42 am Beijing Time, carried by a Long March-4B Y53 rocket. This satellite aims to close the gap in China's high-precision global ocean salinity detection capabilities and enhance data collection on oceanic dynamics and environmental factors, as confirmed by the CNSA.

In addition to improving marine forecasting accuracy, the satellite will contribute to environmental and ecological forecasting, water cycle assessments, short-term climate predictions, and global climate change studies. It will deliver essential data for use in agriculture, disaster prevention, meteorology, and other industries, the CNSA noted.

This mission marked the 545th flight in the Long March rocket series.
