A report by Space Daily has said China is set to launch two communications satellites for its space-based Internet-of-Things (IoT) project later this month. One of the satellites is named after its birthplace Wuhan, the report said, quoting the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC).
The rocket to send the satellites, Kuaizhou-1A, was developed by the Wuhan-based Sanjiang Group under the CASIC. Despite its proximity to the epicenter of the novel coronavirus epidemic, the company staff worked hard to ensure the success of the mission.
