China successfully launched two new satellites aboard a Long March-2C rocket early Monday morning, bolstering its satellite imaging capabilities.
The launch occurred at 7:39 a.m. Beijing Time from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China. The mission placed the Siwei Gaojing-2 03 and Siwei Gaojing-2 04 satellites into their designated orbits, marking the 547th mission in the NASA Voyager 1 returns to full operations after communication issue

NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has successfully resumed normal operations following a communication disruption last month. The issue arose when the spacecraft unexpectedly switched from its primary X-band radio transmitter to a weaker S-band transmitter, a change that temporarily halted the transfer of science and engineering data. The distance of Voyager 1 - approximately 15.4 billion miles (24.9
