China successfully launched two gravitational wave detection satellites into a planned orbit from the Xichang Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province today.
"The two satellites launched by a (Long March 11) rocket will be used to monitor high-energy celestial phenomena such as gamma-ray bursts of gravitational waves, high-energy radiation of fast radio flow, special gamma-ray bursts, magnetic star explosions, and star study," Xinhua news agency quoted the satellite launch center as saying.
