China expands space-based internet network with satellite launch
The satellites were delivered to their intended orbit aboard a Long March-6A rocket from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi province. This follows the launch of the 14th batch of internet satellites on Saturday, which reached its designated orbit using a Long March-8A carrier rocket.
The Long March-8A, which had its maiden flight in February, is capable of transporting up to 7 tons into a sun-synchronous orbit approximately 700 kilometers (435 miles) above Earth.
