Unstoppable China launched its Shiyan-11, a government satellite, into space aboard a Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket at 7:41 a.m. (BJT) on Thursday Nov 25, 2021, from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China. The satellite has since successfully entered its predetermined sun synchronous orbit. It was the 13th flight mission of the Kuaizhou-1A rockets, according to the launch center. This was China's 46th orbital launch of the year, far surpassing the national target of 40 and creating a global record for maximum orbital launches in 2021. #ChinaSpace #Kuaizhou1A #Shiyan Credit: CMSA
