The reporter learned from the National Space Administration that at 7:28 on July 5th, China successfully launched the Fengyun-3E satellite with the Long March 4C carrier rocket at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

This star is the first launch star of the FY-3 meteorological satellite in the 03 batch, and is also the first satellite in the twilight orbit in the world's civil service meteorological satellite family.

  The Fengyun-3 E star has a design life of 8 years and is equipped with 11 remote sensing loads. It is mainly used to obtain meteorological parameters such as atmospheric temperature and humidity required for numerical forecasting applications, to ensure core business in the meteorological field, and to improve weather forecasting capabilities; to monitor global ice and snow coverage, Sea surface temperature, natural disasters, ecology and environment, improve the comprehensive ability to respond to climate change and meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation; carry out solar, space environment and its effects, ionospheric data monitoring to meet the needs of space weather forecasting and security services.

  The satellite will further improve China's numerical weather forecast accuracy and weather forecast accuracy, enrich China's meteorological satellite operational observation system, and promote the modernization of China's space infrastructure.

  The FY-3E satellite is organized and implemented by the National Space Administration, the Shanghai Aerospace Technology Research Institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation is responsible for the development of satellites and launch vehicles, the China Satellite Launching and Control System Department is responsible for the organization and implementation of the launch site and the measurement and control system, and the China Meteorological Administration For the user department and responsible for the construction and operation of the ground application system.

  This mission is the 377th launch of the Long March series of carrier rockets.
