TanSat was put into the orbit by long March 2D rocket from Jiuquan Satellite launch centre in Northwest China’s Gobi Desert Thursday morning.
Besides TanSat, rocket also carried a high resolution micro-nano satellite and two spectrum micro-nano satellite for agriculture and forestry monitoring.
The satellite was sent into a synchronous orbit about 700 kms above the earth and will monitor concentration, distribution and flow of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
The satellite will help to understand climate change and provide information to China’s policymakers.
TanSat will examine global carbon dioxide levels in every 16 days.
The satellite can also trace greenhouse gases and help to evaluate weather countries fulfilling their Paris agreement.
