Highlights on some of the satellites launched from Taiyuan Launch Center:
Heaviest satellite launched by Ningxia Jingui Information Technology Co. Ltd. into space at 100 kg
A commercial satellite, Ningxia-1 01 is operated by Ningxia Jingui Information Technology Co. Ltd. of China for the purpose of earth observation.
Delivered via Long March 6 (launch vehicle) from Taiyuan Launch Center, it was launched into space on 13 November 2019 and orbits the Earth as a non-polar inclined LEO satellite. Ningxia-1 01 was constructed by DFH Satellite Co. Ltd. (China).
Ningxia-1 01 has a launch mass of 100 kg and orbits around the Earth with the COSPAR ID 2019-076A and NORAD ID 44779.
Taking 103 minutes to orbit the Earth, the satellite's perigee, which is the point of the orbit closest to the Earth's center of mass, is 887km while its apogee, which is the point of the orbit farthest from the Earth's center of mass, is 898km. The eccentricity of the orbit is 7.57E-04 and it orbits at an inclination of 45 degrees to the equatorial plane of the Earth.
Heaviest satellite launched by KLEO Connect into space at 100 kg
A commercial satellite, KL-Beta-A is operated by KLEO Connect of Germany for the purpose of technology development.
A polar LEO satellite, it was launched into space using Long March 6 as the launch vehicle from Taiyuan Launch Center on 4 August 2021. KL-Beta-A was constructed by Shanghai Institute of Microsatellite Innovation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (China).
KL-Beta-A has a launch mass of 100 kg and orbits around the Earth with the COSPAR ID 2021-070A and NORAD ID 49059.
Taking 110 minutes to orbit the Earth, the satellite's perigee, which is the point of the orbit closest to the Earth's center of mass, is 899km while its apogee, which is the point of the orbit farthest from the Earth's center of mass, is 907km. The eccentricity of the orbit is 5.50E-04 and it orbits at an inclination of 89 degrees to the equatorial plane of the Earth.
A commercial satellite, Beijing-3 is operated by 21st Century Aerospace Technology (21AT) of China for the purpose of earth observation (Optical Imaging).
Constructed by Chinese Academy of Space Technology (CASC) (China), it was launched into space using Long March 2D as the launch vehicle from Taiyuan Launch Center on 11 June 2021. Beijing-3 orbits around the Earth as a sun-synchronous LEO satellite.
Beijing-3 navigates with the COSPAR ID 2021-050A and NORAD ID 48840.
With an orbital eccentricity of 1.09E-03, the satellite's perigee, which is the point of the orbit closest to the Earth's center of mass, is 487km while its apogee, which is the point of the orbit farthest from the Earth's center of mass, is 502km. It takes 95 minutes to orbit the Earth at an inclination of 98 degrees to the equatorial plane of the Earth.
