我國首顆高分辨率雷達遙感衛星"高分三號"成功發射

China launched a new high-resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging satellite from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center last Wednesday.

上週三，在太原衛星發射中心，我國發射了一顆新型高分辨率合成孔徑雷達成像衛星

The Gaofen-3 satellite was launched off the back of a Long March 4C carrier rocket at 6:55 am.

當天清晨6時55分，"高分三號"衛星是由長征四號丙運載火箭發射升空的。

The Gaofen-3 is China's first SAR imaging satellite that is accurate to one meter in distance. It covers the globe with an all-weather, 24-hour observation service.

高分三號衛星是中國首顆精確度達到1米的SAR成像衛星。它可以提供全天候、24小時的覆蓋全球的觀察服務。

It is capable of taking wide pictures of the earth and photographing detailed scenarios of specific areas. It will be used for disaster warning, weather forecasting, water resource assessment and maritime rights protection.

該衛星能夠拍攝大成像幅寬的地球照片，也能拍攝特定區域的詳細情況。它將用於災害預警、天氣預報、水資源評估和海洋權益保護。

Gaofen-3 is also China's first low orbit remote sensing satellite that has a lifespan of eight years.

此外，高分三號還是我國第一顆使用壽命達8年的低軌遙感衛星。
