China Launched World's First Rocket-deployed Weather Instruments from Unmanned Semi-submersible vehiclehttp://english.iap.cas.cn/RE/201901/t20190131_205264.htmlQuoteFor the first time in history, Chinese scientists have launched a rocketsonde — a rocket designed to perform weather observations in areas beyond the range of weather balloons — from an unmanned semi-submersible vehicle (USSV) that has been solely designed and specially developed by China for this task.The results of initial sea trials conducted in 2018 were published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences on 31 Jan 2019.Advances in Atmospheric Sciences https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00376-018-8249-5QuoteThe rocketsonde used in this study, which is essentially a rocket-deployed dropsonde, was designed in cooperation with Jiangxi Xinyu Guoke Technology Co., Ltd., to meet the requirements for detecting the detailed vertical structure of the low-level troposphere at sea.
For the first time in history, Chinese scientists have launched a rocketsonde — a rocket designed to perform weather observations in areas beyond the range of weather balloons — from an unmanned semi-submersible vehicle (USSV) that has been solely designed and specially developed by China for this task.The results of initial sea trials conducted in 2018 were published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences on 31 Jan 2019.
The rocketsonde used in this study, which is essentially a rocket-deployed dropsonde, was designed in cooperation with Jiangxi Xinyu Guoke Technology Co., Ltd., to meet the requirements for detecting the detailed vertical structure of the low-level troposphere at sea.
Note that these rockets have a maximum design apogee of 8 km, with a max achieved-so-far apogee of 1.2 km. So, not space rockets.
Vehicle has thrust 159 kN, diameter 1.0 m, length 7.6 m. Other values given are 700 kg (probably total mass), 30 to 350 km (probably range of maximum height) and 4 to 10 Ma (no idea!).

The test firing of China’s new JL-3 submarine-launched ballistic missile took place Sunday in the Bohai Sea
2 weird air space closure notices that seems to close out Jiuquan SLC and the whole Gobi desert sometime later today...... is this a SLBM test or something like that? The path to the east in intriguingly passing directly over Beijing!

Pink and green look to be missile testing related but the red one is same area as CZ-2C carrying HY-1D from june 10th.Hmmmmm.....Red NOTAM zone: close/open times: August 15 UTC 0348 and 0429. Did anything happen?In any event no object was catalogedCould have been a DF-ZF target type flight.
