Summary
The HJ-2E satellite, also known as Huanjing Jianzai 02-05, was launched on October 12, 2022, from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center (TAISC) using a Chang Zheng 2C launch vehicle. It is owned by ZZWYZ and manufactured by DFHZ in China. This Earth observation satellite uses the CAST968B Bus configuration with a CAST-2000 bus system and is equipped with a 5 m S-SAR payload for radar imaging. The spacecraft has dimensions of 1.4 meters in length, 1 meter in diameter, and a span of 4 meters when its solar arrays are deployed. It weighs approximately 510 kilograms both at launch and dry mass. HJ-2E is powered by two deployable solar arrays and batteries and is shaped like a box with two panels. Its mission focuses on Earth observation using radar technology.

The Telescope That Needed Glasses
On April 25, 1990, the Space Shuttle Discovery's robotic arm lifted a 11,110-kilogram barrel of mirrors and instruments out of the payload bay and released it into orbit.
