JAKARTA - Exactly on Sunday 17 September, the Chinese Aerospace Science and Technology Company (CASC) successfully launched a remote reconnaissance satellite, the Yaogan-39, into orbit.

Quoted from Spacenews, the Long March 2D hypergolic rocket carrying the Yaogan-39 satellite was launched at 12.13 Beijing time. The rocket carrying this satellite was launched from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province, Southwest China.

CASC confirmed the launch. The launch carried out by CASC this time was the same as the launch of the first Yaogan-39 series on August 31, bringing three satellites into orbit.

With the launch of Yaogan-39 into orbit, CASC has successfully carried out its 43rd orbital mission at the same time marking its 30th launch this year. This launch is also a midpoint in achieving their targets to launch more than 200 spacecraft in 60 launches.

So far, CASC has provided little information about Yaogan's launch mission. With little information and full of secrets, Western analysts believe that the mission is at least military and provides a wide range of reconnaissance capabilities.

Yaogan is considered to carry various optics, Synthetic Radar Apertur (SAR), and other sensors. This satellite is also generally described as a tool for detecting electromagnetic environments and other technical tests.

In addition to launching reconnaissance satellites, China has also launched a Ludikancha series classification satellite. This satellite is a high-resolution Earth observer satellite for military purposes.
