China launched a Long March 2D carrier rocket on Thursday afternoon to transport 41 satellites into space, setting a new national record for the most spacecraft launched in a single mission.
The rocket blasted off at 1:30 pm from a service tower surrounded by mountains at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi province, thundering up into sunny skies.
