China successfully launched its first carbon monitoring satellite, enhancing its international voice. Following the worst and longest-lasting smog affecting nearly 15% of China's territory, including Beijing and North China, China successfully launched a global carbon dioxide monitoring scientific experimental satellite from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. Chinese officials stated that the satellite launch aims to enhance China's voice on international climate change and to make its voice heard in global carbon dioxide monitoring. China is the world's largest carbon emitter, and with this successful launch, it joins the ranks of countries possessing such satellites after the United States and Japan. Experts say this carbon satellite will enable China to initially establish the capability to monitor atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations in key regions and even globally. This is China's first scientific experimental satellite for monitoring global atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Utilizing hyperspectral and high spatial resolution carbon dioxide detectors, multispectral cloud and aerosol detectors, and other equipment, the satellite regularly acquires global carbon dioxide distribution maps through a ground-based data receiving, processing, and verification system. This will also enhance China's voice on international climate change. Li Jiahong, chief engineer of the National Remote Sensing Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, said that the carbon satellite is a major mission deployed to address global climate change and enhance China's global carbon dioxide monitoring capabilities. Li stated that the satellite is of great significance in enhancing China's voice on international climate change. He told Chinese media that the satellite will undergo approximately six months of on-orbit testing after launch. In the future, China will share data with domestic and international partners as appropriate, and will also conduct in-depth data processing to amplify China's voice in global carbon dioxide monitoring. The report noted that the launch also carried one high-resolution micro-nano satellite and two hyperspectral micro-nano satellites independently developed by the Innovation Academy for Microsatellites of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This was the 243rd flight of the Long March series of carrier rockets. China and the United States are the world's largest polluters. In September of this year, they jointly announced the signing of the Paris Climate Agreement, aimed at limiting global warming to below two degrees Celsius by the end of this century. However, US presidential candidate Trump opposed international efforts to curb global warming during his campaign.
