A new satellite, jointly developed by China and Brazil, was sent into space on Friday, pushing forward the aerospace cooperation between the two countries, according to the China National Space Administration (CNSA).

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday exchanged congratulatory messages with Brazilian President Jair Messias Bolsonaro on the successful launch of the satellite.

The China-Brazil Earth Resource Satellite-4A (CBERS-4A) was launched on a Long March-4B carrier rocket at 11:22 Friday Beijing Time from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in north China's Shanxi Province.

The satellite is the sixth satellite under the earth resource satellite cooperation program between the two countries. It will obtain global optical remote-sensing data and support the Brazilian government's monitoring of the Amazon rainforest and the country's environmental changes.

"For more than three decades, the conversations and all the interactions between researchers, between students, between officials, so it's very valuable," said Marcos Pontes, Brazil's Minister of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communications.

The CBERS-4A will replace CBERS-4, which was launched in 2014, to improve the resolution of the remote-sensing data, said the CNSA.

The satellite was jointly developed by the China Academy of Space Technology and the National Institute for Space Research of Brazil. The carrier rocket was developed by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology.

"I think the fruit of cooperation is indispensable for both countries, and also benefits many other countries. Our two countries have drawn up plans for space cooperation in the next decade and have reached a broad consensus," said Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the CNSA.

The same rocket put into orbits another eight satellites, including a wide-range multispectral remote-sensing microsatellite donated to Ethiopia.

Un nuevo satélite, desarrollado conjuntamente por China y Brasil, fue enviado con éxito al espacio hoy viernes, impulsando la cooperación aeroespacial entre los dos países, según la Administración Nacional del Espacio de China (CNSA, por sus siglas en inglés).

El presidente chino, Xi Jinping, intercambió el mismo viernes mensajes de felicitación con su homólogo brasileño, Jair Messias Bolsonaro, por el exitoso lanzamiento del satélite.

El Satélite de Recursos Terrestres 4A China-Brasil (CBERS-4A, por sus siglas en inglés) se lanzó a bordo de un cohete portador Gran Marcha-4B a las 11:22 de hoy viernes, hora de Beijing, desde el Centro de Lanzamiento de Satélites Taiyuan, en la provincia septentrional china de Shanxi.

El CBERS-4A es el sexto satélite del programa de cooperación en satélites de recursos terrestres entre los dos países. Obtendrá datos globales de teledetección óptica y respaldará el monitoreo del gobierno brasileño de la selva amazónica y los cambios ambientales del país.

El CBERS-4A reemplazará al CBERS-4, que se envió al espacio en 2014, para mejorar la resolución de los datos de teledetección, indicó la CNSA.

El satélite fue desarrollado conjuntamente por la Academia China de Tecnología Espacial y el Instituto Nacional de Investigación Espacial de Brasil. El cohete portador fue desarrollado por la Academia de Tecnología de Vuelo Espacial de Shanghai.

El mismo tipo de cohete puso en órbita otros ocho satélites, incluido un microsatélite multiespectral de teledetección de amplio alcance donado a Etiopía.
