China successfully launched its first microgravity scientific research satellite, the SJ-10, at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu Wednesday at 1:38 am. While in space, the bullet-shaped probe will house 19 experiments involving microgravity fluid physics, microgravity combustion, space material, space radiation effect, microgravity biological effect and space bio-technology. The SJ-10 is the second of four scientific satellites under a CAS space program. Unlike the other three, the SJ-10 is returnable. It is the 25th such retrievable satellite launched by China.
