China's Advancements in Satellite Technology and Carbon Emissions Monitoring

China successfully launched the Yunhai-1 (04) remote sensing satellite, adding to its series of Yunhai satellites. The satellite, developed by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology, is described as providing services for detecting atmospheric, marine, and space environments, disaster prevention, mitigation, and scientific experiments. The Yunhai series is believed to be military meteorological satellites. This launch marks China's 47th orbital launch of 2023, with a goal of surpassing 60 launches for the year. China is also preparing for the launch of the Shenzhou-17 crewed mission and the Einstein Probe, a wide-field x-ray space observatory.
