China on Friday launched six new satellites into space, state media reported.
The Jilin-1 Kuanfu 02B 01-06 satellites were sent into space from Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in the northern Shanxi province.
A home-built Long March-2D carrier rocket carried the satellites, which entered the preset orbit successfully.
It was 536th flight mission of Chia’s Long March carrier rocket series.
The latest satellite launch comes a day after China launched two new BeiDou-3 Navigation Satellite System (BDS-3) satellites.
BDS is China’s mega constellation of satellites in space, operational since 2020.
