XICHANG -- China launched a Long March 2C carrier rocket on Wednesday to place a new group of remote-sensing satellites in space.

The satellites of the Yaogan-43 03 group were launched at 9:09 am (Beijing Time) from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in the southwestern province of Sichuan and entered the preset orbit.

They will be mainly used for tests on new technologies for low-orbit constellations.

This was the 542nd flight mission of the Long March series rockets.
