China launched two high-resolution radar satellites from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China on Monday, marking a significant advancement in satellite technology for all-weather surveillance.

The satellites, named Siwei Gaojing-2 03 and 04, were carried into the skies by a Long March-2C rocket, which successfully placed them into their designated orbit at 7:39 a.m.

These cutting-edge satellites, developed by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, feature high-precision phased array radar systems. This technology enables them to deliver high-resolution radar images irrespective of weather conditions, thus strengthening national security through improved data collection.

The enhanced observational capabilities of these satellites have broad implications, notably supporting sectors such as natural resource management, urban security, emergency response initiatives, and maritime operations.

The Long March-2C, a liquid-fueled rocket developed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, is specifically designed for launching satellites into low Earth orbit and sun-synchronous orbit.

This versatile rocket can operate from all three primary launch sites in China: Xichang, Jiuquan, and Taiyuan, showcasing the flexibility and reach of China's launch capabilities.

Significantly, this mission marks the 547th flight within the Long March rocket series, illustrating the sustained commitment of China's space ambitions.
