China's two newly-launched satellites for gravitational wave detection will be used to observe extreme bursts of extreme celestial bodies and study compact objects, according to top Chinese scientists.
China sent two satellites for the detection of gravitational waves into planned orbit from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province on Thursday morning.
The two satellites for the Gravitational Wave High-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor (GECAM) mission were launched by a Long March-11 carrier rocket at 4:14 Beijing Time on Thursday (2014 GMT on Wednesday), according to the center.
"We launched the two satellites with one rocket to the orbit, but over a period of time, we will adjust them to be the opposite phase position. Therefore, the two satellites will be always on opposite sides of the earth. One satellite can only monitor the sky beyond the earth's shadow, while these two satellites can monitor the whole sky jointly on both sides, which is the greatest characteristic of them. It is worth mentioning that compared with domestic land-based telescopes, the satellites are the first telescopes with the quasi-real-time downlink capability," said Xiong Shaolin, principal investigator of the GECAM.
The GECAM satellites will be used to monitor high-energy celestial phenomena such as gravitational wave gamma-ray bursts, high-energy radiation of fast radio bursts, special gamma-ray bursts and magnetar bursts, and to study neutron stars, black holes and other compact objects and their merger processes.
In addition to the GECAM, China will also launch multiple other space science satellites in future years.
"In exploring the extreme universe, we will launch the Einstein Probe, and in terms of the impact of solar activity on human activities, we have also deployed two satellites, including the Advanced Space-borne Solar Observatory (ASO-S), and the Solar Wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer, or SMILE, which is a panoramic imaging satellite on interaction between the solar wind and the earth's magnetosphere, and which was jointly developed by China and Europe.
