Start CZ-2C z 27 czerwca / CASTChiny wystrzeliły dwa satelity technologiczne Xin Jishu A oraz B.
Z kosmodromu Xichang wystartowała rakieta nośna CZ-2C wynosząc dwa satelity technologiczne. Trafiły na orbitę o wysokości 465 na 484 km oraz inklinację 35 stopni. O samym ładunku wiadomo bardzo niewiele. Oba satelity zostały zbudowane przez Chińską Akademię Technologii Rakietowych (CALT). Mają przetestowac technologie obserwacji Ziemi i komunikacji międzysatelitarnej. Ze względu na rozmiar, rakieta CZ-2C leciała z powiększoną osłoną aerodynamiczną.
Po starcie pojawiły się nagrania, na których widać jak pierwszy stopień rakiety wypełniony pozostałościami toksycznego paliwa uderzył w pobliżu miasteczka Fuquan w prowincji Guizhou. Mieszkańcy mieli być wcześniej ewakuowani. (...)
Był to już 54 udany lot orbitalny w 2018 roku

New-tech experiment twin satellites, carried by the Long March-2C rocket, are launched from southwest China's Xichang Satellite Launch Center, June 27, 2018. The twin-satellites missions are to link the inter-satellite network and conduct new technology tests on satellites earth-observation. (Xinhua)XICHANG, June 27 (Xinhua) -- China successfully launched new-tech experiment twin satellites on the Long March-2C rocket from southwest China's Xichang Satellite Launch Center Wednesday morning.
The twin satellites were launched at 11:30 a.m., and entered their intended orbit.
The twin-satellites missions are to link the inter-satellite network and conduct new technology tests on satellites earth-observation.
It was the 278th mission of the Long March rocket series.

(...) The article also notes that the pair of satellites were developed by a company under the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST), a spacecraft designer and manufacturer subordinate to CASC.
No further details of the satellites were immediately made available. (...)
18 for 18 in 2018China has succeeded with all 18 of its launches so far in 2018, with CASC aiming to launch around 36 times this year, with commercial launches potentially taking that number to 40.
Achieving this figure would mean nearly doubling the national record of 22 launches set in 2016.
The country launched 18 out of a planned 30 missions in 2017, as back-to-back launch issues in June and July—mostly notably the failure of the Long March 5—brought a near 90-day halt to launch activity. (...)

The satellites launched stacked inside the a lengthened version of the Long March 2C rocket’s payload shroud, modified to accommodate the height of the spacecraft coupled inside, according to CALT. Engineers also customized the rocket’s payload separation mechanism to provide a low-shock deployment for the satellites, officials said.
Wednesday’s flight marked the 18th space launch of the year by China, and the 54th space mission worldwide to successfully fly into Earth orbit or beyond so far in 2018. (...)
