China has successfully sent its third mapping satellite of the Tianhui-1C series into orbit from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in the northwestern province of Gansu.
China previously launched a satellite in the series in 2012.
The satellite aims to enhance the country’s ability to carry out scientific research, mapping and disaster relief using stereo-topographic techniques.
Tianhui-1C was launched aboard a long march 2D carrier rocket. It was the 215th launch of the long march series of rockets and 228th Chinese orbital launch.
The satellite was built by Hangtian Dongfanghong Weixing along with the Chinese Academy of Space Technology (CAST). Tianhui-1 satellites are part of the Ziyuan programme that covers various civil and military earth observation and remote sensing programmes.
