XiWang-2C , or XW-2D for short , also CAS-3D , is a Chinese microsatellite which is used for experiments on the physics of the thermosphere and an amateur radio satellite . XiWang is Mandarin and means hope. CAS stands for Chinese amateur radio satellite. This satellite was developed by the Chinese amateur radio satellite group, CAMSAT. The XiWang-2D (CAS-3D) satellite is identical to the XiWang-2B (CAS-3B) and XiWang-2C (CAS-3C) satellites .
mission
The satellite was launched on September 19, 2015 on a Langer March 6 launcher from the Taiyuan Cosmodrome in China together with 20 other small satellites, including nine other satellites of the CAS 3 series. An orbital lifespan of 9.2 years is expected.
