China has successfully sent seven satellites into space from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China’s Sichuan Province Saturday.
Six satellites produced by Beijing-based GalaxySpace and a commercial remote sensing satellite were launched by a Long March-2C carrier rocket at 2:01 p.m. (Beijing Time) and have entered their planned orbit.
The satellites will verify the networking technology and service capability of the low-orbit internet constellation. They will also verify remote sensing technology.
The launch marked the 410th mission of the Long March series carrier rockets.
