China’s Long March Rocket Series Celebrates its 101st Successful Launch with Gaofen-12 Satellite Placement

Launch number 101 of a Long March 4C carrier rocket was carried out on August 21 from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, and the Gaofen-12 satellite was placed into Earth orbit.

35 years have passed since the first launch of a rocket carrying the Long March, until the 101st launch.

On September 7, 1988, the Long March 4A launch vehicle made its first flight, sending the Fengyun-1 meteorological satellite into space, China becoming the third country in the world capable of launching a satellite into a sun-synchronous orbit.
