China's scientific research institute plans to launch five satellites
China's top scientific research institute is planning to launch five satellites over the next ten years to explore the mysteries of deep space, the institute's president said on Friday.
Some of the satellites are scheduled to be launched in the next two or three years, said Bai Chunli, president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
The satellites will be sent into space to collect evidence and make observations regarding quantum mechanics and "dark matter," a mysterious form of matter that does not emit electromagnetic radiation and cannot be detected using traditional astronomical observation methods.
"We still know very little about 'dark matter' and 'dark energy,' and any possible breakthroughs in this field may reshape our knowledge of the universe," Bai said.
