  10 + <Description>The Double Star mission was a unique scientific collaboration between Europe and China. For the first time, two Chinese
  11 + spacecraft carried suites of instruments provided by European scientists and funded by European governments and ESA.
  12 +
  13 +Double Star follows in the footsteps of ESA's ground-breaking Cluster mission by studying the effects of the Sun on
  14 +the Earth's environment. Conducting joint studies with Cluster and Double Star increases the overall scientific
  15 +return from both missions.As its name suggests, Double Star involves two satellites - each designed, developed, launched,
  16 +and operated by the China National Space Administration (CNSA).
  17 +
  18 +The two spacecraft are called TC-1 and TC-2, where TC stands for 'Tan Ce' which means 'Explorer'.</Description>

12   - <Description>Double Star 1 (also known as Tan Ce 1, and TC 1) is a Sino-European (CSNA-ESA) satellite that was launched by a Long March 2C/SM rocket from Xichang Satellite Launch Center in the Sichuan province of China (PRC) at 19:06 UT on 29 December 2003. The 330 kg, 260 W satellite is cylindrical, with a diameter of 2.1 m, a height of 1.4 m, and spins at a rate of 15 rpm. It carries eight instruments to probe Earth's magnetosphere, five from ESA and three from CNSA. (The ESA instruments are legacies from ESA's Cluster mission.) The data from all instruments will be stored on-board and dumped over three grounds stations: Shanghai and Beifing in China, and Villafranca in Spain. There will be coordination between the Cluster and Double Star missions. For more information, see
