Associated space launch
Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT) is a Chinese X-ray space observatory. This will be China's first astronomy satellite, and it is tasked with observation of black holes, neutron stars and other phenomena based on their X-ray and gamma ray emissions.
NUSAT-3 was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Long March 4B | Huiyan (HXMT (Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope))’, on board a Long March 4B space rocket.
The launch took place on June 15, 2017, 3 a.m. from Launch Area 4 (SLS-2 / 603).
