China launched a group of new satellites from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China on Wednesday.
The satellites were launched at 19:41 (Beijing Time) aboard a Long March-2D carrier rocket, and they entered the preset orbit successfully.
The launch marked the 677th mission of the Long March carrier rockets.
The mission is a technology demonstrator for China's "Origins" space science program. Operating in a 600-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit, they will conduct in-orbit tests of key technologies for future space science missions, including the Hongmeng Program and Kuafu-2 mission. After completing their technology verification tasks, they will also carry out space environment monitoring and research.
