China successfully launched a new meteorological satellite, called Fengyun-3E(FY-3E).
About
Fengyun-3E(FY-3E) is designed with a lifespan of eight years.
It will mainly obtain the atmospheric temperature, humidity and other meteorological parameters for numerical prediction applications, improving China’s weather forecast capacity.
It will also monitor the global snow cover, sea surface temperature, natural disasters and ecology to better respond to climate change and prevent and mitigate meteorological disasters.
In addition, the satellite will monitor solar and space environments and their effects, as well as ionospheric data to meet the needs of space weather forecasts and supporting services.
