China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Shijian 19 Long March 2D
About the Shijian 19 Mission
- Type: Biology
- Orbit: Low Earth Orbit
- Launch Cost: $30,000,000
Shijian 19 is a Chinese recoverable satellite for hoisting various scientific experiments in microgravity.
Unlike previous similar Chinese satellites, the return capsule can be reused up to 15 times and can carry about 500 kg of recoverable payload, as well as 200 kg of unrecoverable payload. This type of satellite can be flown in a short term configuration powered by batteries or in a long term configuration with solar arrays.
