China launches new group of satellites for low-orbit technology tests
China successfully launched a new group of satellites on Wednesday, according to state media reports.
The Yaogan-43 03 satellite cluster was sent into space from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, located in Sichuan province. The satellites entered their designated orbit following a smooth launch, according to Xinhua News.
These newly launched satellites are primarily designed to test emerging technologies for low-orbit constellations, further enhancing China's space technology capabilities.
This mission is the 542nd successful launch of the Long March rocket series, which carried the satellites into space.
The launch follows closely on the heels of a similar satellite group launch last week, highlighting China's fast-paced progress in its space exploration efforts.
