Chinanews, Beijing, Oct 8 – The project for the making of Haiyang No.2 (HY-2) satellite had been registered by the state in January this year. China plans to launch the satellite in 2009, according to information released by the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence (COSTIND).

 

COSTIND said so at a handover ceremony for the use of Haiyang-1B (HY-1B) satellite held in Beijing recently.

 

The making of HY-2 satellite is included as an important project in China's Space Programme for the Eleventh Five-Year Plan Period (2006-2010). In order to implement1 this program, China will put in more efforts in coming years on the research and engineering work for HY-2 satellite so that the country's ocean satellites construction work can be upgraded to a new scale, said Sun Laiyan, vice2 director of COSTIND, who is also director-general of the China National Space Administration.

 

In addition to HY-2, the State Oceanic Administration (SOA) has also devoted3 efforts to the research work of other ocean satellites. It is SOA's goal that by building a comprehensive and well functioning system for the application of ocean satellites, SOA can supervise Chinese coastal4 areas more effectively, said Sun Zhihui, SOA director-general .

 

During the Eleventh Five-Year Period, China Space Technology Group will undertake the tasks for the research work of various civil use satellites. At present, HY-2 project has been registered and related production scheme is being discussed. In addition to HY-2, China Space Technology Group is conducting a feasibility study of the HY-3 satellite project, said Ma Xingrui, the new president of China Space Technology Group.

 

HY-1 and HY-2 ocean satellites have different functions and their functions are complimentary5 to each other. HY-2 ocean satellite is mainly used to monitor the dynamics6 movement at sea. Through active microwave detection, it can gather information about the wind conditions at sea, as well as the changes about sea heights and ocean temperatures. It can, in some way, provide useful information on the weather conditions at sea and prevent ocean disasters, experts say.
