China鈥檚 Smart Dragon-1 rocket will carry a heavy satellite developed by a commercial Chinese space company in its upcoming launch, the Beijing Daily reported yesterday.
The satellite, which weighs 65 kilograms, was manufactured by Beijing Qiansheng Exploration Technology Co Ltd, founded in 2017 with a license to develop micro-satellites and satellite data applications.
With remote sensing and communication functions, the satellite will provide soil moisture monitoring for a pilot site.
