"The @SVOM_mission 🛰️is like a kite 🪁to be launched into the universe by the China-French team. It's a half-blooded kite. We're flying the kite together. "
Zhang Yonghe, SVOM Chinese Project Manager Innovation Academy for Microsatellites, CAS #FlyingaKitetotheStars
"To have a good flight with a kite🪁, we need two people, one people as the driver, and the other holds the kite.
If there are two, the kite will fly higher and better. We are stronger together."
-Karine Mercier, Payload Manager @CNES

#FlyingaKitetotheStars: Karine Mercier, Payload Manager at the French National Center for Space Studies, couldn't hold back her tears when she saw the launch of the #SVOM satellite at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center on June 22, 2024.
For @SVOM_mission French Project Manager François Gonzalez, this might be his last big project for @CNES. 18 years of joint development have been a long relay race. Inspiration from French scientists helped young Chinese engineers to rapidly grow. #FlyingaKitetotheStars
The oceanographic satellite #CFOSAT, cooperation in Chang'e 6 lunar exploration mission, and the @SVOM_mission ... China and France have long-term scientific cooperation in the space sector. @CNES

Gamma-ray bursts, the most explosive phenomena in the universe!
By observing events that occurred as far back as 13 billion years ago, the #SVOM satellite is expected to contribute to our understanding of the origin of the #universe. @CNES

June 22, 2024, a day vivid in my memory.
@SVOM_mission was launched from #Xichang Satellite Launch Center.
Behind the wows& hugs, the moment marked the culmination of 18 years of hard work and cooperation between Chinese & French scientists and engineers. #FlyingaKitetotheStars
How can we capture & study the grammar-ray bursts?
Wei Jianyan, @SVOM_mission 's Chinese Principal Investigator, said the 🇨🇳🇫🇷 SVOM satellite can respond in about 5 minutes, breaking the previous record of about 20 minutes.
