1994, however, when being loaded with propellants for flight, the satellite
SoyuzMS
exploded, killing one technician, injuring 20 more and setting back the entire
program that went through a redesign of the satellites propulsion system. As a
result, the first Fengyun 2 satellite launched three years later than originally
Shenzhou
Orion
planned. A total of six FY2 satellites have been launched to date, entering
positionsat86.5and105EastinGeostationaryOrbit.OftheFY1polarorbiting

Image resolution reaches 1.25 and 5 Kilometers for the visible and infrared
channels.
