China launches 2 satellites - Is this a coincidence?

 

According to https://global.chinadaily.com.cn/

China launched a pair of satellites on Thursday to observe electromagnetic signals emitted alongside gravitational waves that are created by violent cosmic events, such as collisions of neutron stars and black holes.

 

The two satellites, which compose the Gravitational Wave High-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor (GECAM) mission, was sent into orbit via a Long March 11 carrier rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan province on Thursday morning. The project is being carried out by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

 

The GECAM satellites will be used to monitor high-energy celestial phenomena such as gamma-ray bursts, which are sometimes accompanied by gravitational waves; high-energy radiation of fast radio bursts; and neutron stars, black holes and other compact objects and their collision processes…

 

…Zheng Shijie, deputy chief engineer for GECAM's scientific application system, said the two GECAM satellites rotate around the Earth in a way that can monitor these celestial phenomena at all angles at all times.
