China has successfully launched the world’s first high-orbit synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite, L-SAR4 01. The satellite was launched from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China’s Sichuan Province at 1:26 a.m. Beijing Time on a Long March-3B carrier rocket. It entered its planned orbit with success.

The L-SAR4 01 satellite is a remote sensing satellite designed to provide all-weather, all-day imaging of China’s territory and surrounding areas. Its short revisit period and wide imaging width make it well-suited for disaster monitoring and other applications.

This launch marks a significant milestone in China’s space program and will greatly enhance the country’s disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief capabilities. It also contributes to global efforts in disaster monitoring.
