At 18:51 on October 14, China used the Long March 2D carrier rocket at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center to successfully launch the first solar exploration science and technology test satellite "Xihe."
The star will realize the world's first space exploration of solar Hα band spectral imaging, fill the gap in high-quality observational data in the source area of solar bursts, and improve China's research capabilities in the field of solar physics. It is of great significance to China's space science exploration and satellite technology development.
