Shanxi's First University-Built Satellite Sends Back Orbital Data
North University of China's satellite returned its first data a day after launch.
The satellite was built by the university in Shanxi, China.
It is the first of 128 planned satellites for the Taihang Constellation.
The data included telemetry, which reports information about the satellite's operation.
It also included remote-sensing data, information gathered by observing Earth from orbit.
