Сhina’s first dark matter probe satellite DAMPE (Dark Matter Particle Explorer), named Wukong, detected 1.6 billion particles by November 10 and has the largest observation scope and the best particle-resolving ability and energy resolution ratio, according to local media.

BEIJING (Sputnik) — China’s first dark matter probe satellite DAMPE (Dark Matter Particle Explorer), named Wukong, discovered 1.6 billion particles 328 days after its detector started to search the signs of invisible material, local media reported on Friday.

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has ended months of dithering and announced the launch of a satellite that will be shared by several member states of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC).
