China is gearing up to launch the last of its Fengyun-2 geostationary weather satellites, with a Long March 3A rocket set to loft the spacecraft from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre next week.

Launch is to take place at Xichang around 13:10 UTC (21:10 Beijing time, 09:10 EDT) on June 5, according to airspace closure notices consistent with the launch profile.

The near 1.4 metric-tonne spacecraft last month completed space environment tests before transportation to Xichang in southwest China for launch.

Спойлер

The Fengyun-2H satellite was developed by the Shanghai Institute of Satellite Engineering (SISE), under the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST), itself a subordinate to the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), the main space programme contractor.

Fengyun-1 and Fengyun-2 series satellites are being replaced by a new and improved generation of satellites, designated Fengyun-3 for polar orbits and Fengyun-4 for those for geostationary orbits.

The mission is expected to be China's 16th of 2018, though the Gaofen-6 multispectral Earth observation satellite, part of the CHEOS project, could be launched into a Sun-synchronous orbit from Jiuquan via a Long March 2D as early as tomorrow, along with the piggybacking Luojia-1 6U CubeSat.

China launches meteorological satellite to benefit Belt and Road countries
Source: Xinhua | 2018-06-05 22:22:50 | Editor: Yurou

XICHANG, June 5 (Xinhua) -- China on Tuesday launched the new Fengyun-2H meteorological satellite to improve the accuracy of weather forecasting and provide better meteorological services to countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative.

The Fengyun-2H was launched on a Long March-3A rocket at 9:07 p.m., Beijing Time, from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province.

It was the 277th mission of the Long March rocket series.

Спойлер

A geostationary orbit satellite, the Fengyun-2H is the last in the Fengyun-2 series. The Fengyun-4 series will dominate China's new generation geostationary orbit meteorological satellites, said Zhao Jian, deputy director of the Department of System Engineering of China National Space Administration (CNSA).

In response to a request from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Asia-Pacific Space Cooperation Organization (APSCO), the position of Fengyun-2H will be changed from original 86.5 degrees east longitude to 79 degrees east longitude.

This means the Fengyun series satellites will be able to cover all the territory of China, as well as countries along the Belt and Road, the Indian Ocean and most African countries, according to the CNSA.

The adjustment will enable the Fengyun series satellites to acquire meteorological data over a wider range, improve weather forecasting accuracy and the ability to cope with climate change and mitigate losses caused by natural disasters, Zhao said.

Equipped with a scanning radiometer and space environment monitor, Fengyun-2H will provide real time cloud and water vapor images and space weather information to clients in the Asia-Pacific region, said Wei Caiying, chief commander of the ground application system of Fengyun-2H and deputy director of the National Satellite Meteorological Center.

China launches meteorological satellite to benefit Belt and Road countries

XICHANG, June 5 (Xinhua) -- China on Tuesday launched the new Fengyun-2H meteorological satellite to improve the accuracy of weather forecasting and provide better meteorological services to countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative.

The Fengyun-2H was launched on a Long March-3A rocket at 9:07 p.m., Beijing Time, from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province.

It was the 277th mission of the Long March rocket series.

This means the Fengyun series satellites will be able to cover all the territory of China, as well as countries along the Belt and Road, the Indian Ocean and most African countries, according to the CNSA.

The adjustment will enable the Fengyun series satellites to acquire meteorological data over a wider range, improve weather forecasting accuracy and the ability to cope with climate change and mitigate losses caused by natural disasters, Zhao said.

Equipped with a scanning radiometer and space environment monitor, Fengyun-2H will provide real time cloud and water vapor images and space weather information to clients in the Asia-Pacific region, said Wei Caiying, chief commander of the ground application system of Fengyun-2H and deputy director of the National Satellite Meteorological Center.

The Belt and Road region, which is mainly high mountains, deserts and oceans, lacks meteorological information. Damage from natural disasters, especially meteorological disasters, in the region is more than double the world average.

After four months of in-orbit tests, Fengyun-2H will provide data to help Belt and Road countries better cope with natural hazards, Zhao said.

"The move shows China's willingness to construct a community with a shared future," said Zhao.

It also addresses a WMO request to strengthen satellite observation of the Indian Ocean to fill a gap in the region, which is China's contribution to the international community as a major power of the developing world, Zhao said.

China will offer data of the Fengyun series free to Belt and Road countries and APSCO member countries, said Zhao.

China has helped establish ground stations to receive the data in some APSCO member countries, including Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand, Iran and Mongolia. China plans to upgrade the stations and provide training to technicians in those countries.

If countries along the Belt and Road are struck by disasters like typhoons, rainstorms, sandstorms and forest or prairie fires, they can apply for and quickly get the data, Wei said.

China's meteorological satellites have played an important role in the Belt and Road region. For instance, the Fengyun-2E satellite captured an indication of heavy rainfall in Pakistan in August 2017, and issued a timely warning to avoid casualties.

China already has 17 Fengyun series meteorological satellites in space, with eight in operation, including five in geostationary orbit and three in polar orbit, to observe extreme weather, climate and environment events around the globe.

The WMO has included China's Fengyun series of meteorological satellites as a major part of the global Earth observation system. They provide data to clients in more than 80 countries and regions. Weather forecasts in the eastern hemisphere depend mainly on China's meteorological satellites, according to the CNSA.

Since Fengyun-2A was sent into orbit on June 10, 1997, the Fengyun-2 series satellites have monitored more than 470 typhoons emerging in the western Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea.

They helped improve the accuracy of typhoon forecasting. In 2015, the deviation of China's prediction of typhoon tracks within 24 hours was less than 70 kilometers, among the world's best, according to the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST), producer of the Fengyun series.

The new generation Fengyun-4A geostationary meteorological satellite launched at the end of 2016 can improve observation efficiency by 20 times compared with the Fengyun-2 series, said SAST.

HELSINKI, Finland – China on Tuesday launched the Fengyun-2H weather satellite, successfully inserting the near 1.4-metric-ton spacecraft into a geostationary-transfer orbit.

The Long March 3A launch vehicle lifted off from Launch Complex 3 at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China at 09:07 a.m. Eastern, in accordance with airspace closure notices published days in advance.

The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) announced success of the launch just under an hour after liftoff.

Fengyun-2H is the eighth and final of the Fengyun-2 series of spin-stabilized weather satellites for geostationary orbit, development of which began in the 1980s under CASC.

The satellite is equipped with a Stretched Visible and Infrared Spin Scan Radiometer (S-VISSR) for multi-purpose weather satellite imagery, a Space Environment Monitor (SEM), a Solar X-ray Monitor (SXM) and Data Collection Service (DCS).

Fengyun-2H is designed with a lifetime of at least four years and will be positioned at 79 degrees East, after on-orbit testing at 86.5 degrees East. It will be operated by the National Satellite Meteorological Center (NSMC) of the China Meteorological Administration (CMA).

A second generation of much larger, more capable three-axis stabilized geostationary meteorological satellites, named the Fengyun-4 series, are currently under development. The first of these, Fengyun-4A, was launched in December 2016.

Tuesday's launch was the 17th Chinese launch of 2018 overall, following the Gaofen-6 remote-sensing satellite mission which lifted off from Jiuquan on Saturday. It was the first mission from Xichang since the launch of the Chang'e-4 lunar communications relay satellite into trans-lunar injection on May 20.

CASC is planning a potential 36 launches in 2018, and emerging non-government launch providers could take China's number of orbital launches to over 40 for the year.

Xichang, which is mainly used for launches to geostationary transfer orbit, could see as many as 17 launches this year, mostly of Beidou navigation and positioning satellites, which China is linking to its Belt and Road Initiative.

A new pair of Beidou satellites are likely to be next on the pad at Xichang, with a Long March 3B and Yuanzheng-1 upper stage to loft them into medium earth orbits in late June.

June could also see the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in north China host the launch of a pair of remote sensing satellite for Pakistan.
