What is the mission of Long March 4B?
The Long March 4B flight is a geoscientific reconnaissance flight.
Fengyun-3G is a dedicated precipitation-gauging satellite of the FY-3 series of Chinese low-Earth orbit weather satellites, formerly named FY-3RM-1.
The Long March 4B starts its mission in the low earth orbit. This is located at an altitude of 200 to 2,000 kilometers. LEO rides are the lowest energy and easiest to get to. Spacecraft need about 100 minutes to orbit the earth and can move at about 7 km/s. The radio contact to a ground station is a maximum of 15 minutes per round trip. Low Earth orbit is primarily used for manned spaceflight, but also for spy satellites, astronomical satellites, as well as Earth exploration and weather satellites, amateur radio satellites, global communications systems, and research and technology testing satellites.
