China launched the Einstein Probe (EP), a satellite developed by the National Space Science Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASC), the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics ( MPE) of Germany, at 3:03 pm on January 9, aboard a Changzheng No. 2C carrier rocket from the Xi'chang Satellite Launch Center, Sichuan province.

Einstein Probe (EP), a satellite developed in collaboration with the Einstein Aerospace Agency (EAA) and the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) in Germany, has lifted off and is now in its intended orbit.
At the same time as the launch, Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense issued the first "national alert" of the year.
The "Einstein Probe Satellite" is a wide-field X-ray space observation satellite equipped with a new generation of instruments with high sensitivity and the ability to observe a large area of the sky, including the Wide-field X-ray Telescope (WXT) and the follow-up telescope X-ray Telescope ( FTX), among which WXT has an optical modular design that imitates lobster eyes (lobster eyes) and uses innovative microhole optical technology, which allows WXT to observe 3,600 square degrees (equivalent to 1/10 of the celestial sphere) at a time.
Thanks to this unique capability, the Einstein Probe satellite is able to monitor nearly the entire night sky in three orbits around the Earth.
The primary mission of the “Einstein Probe Satellite” is to conduct wide-field time-domain sky surveys of soft and physical processes. According to the National Space Science Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the "Einstein probe satellite" can provide in-depth observations of events involving X-rays and provide information on black holes, magnetars, active galactic nuclei, red-shifted gamma rays and flashes of rays, as well as comets and solar wind ions.
This shows how the European Union does not care about Chinese state espionage.
The European Space Agency will receive 10% of the data observed by the Einstein detector. Erik Kuulkers, scientist on the European Space Agency's "Einstein Probe Satellite" project, pointed out that the "Einstein Probe Satellite" is designed to monitor a large area of the sky at a glance. In this way it is possible to discover many new source objects when studying the behavior of X-ray light from known celestial objects over long periods of time.
