The launch took place from the southern island province of Hainan, which has become an important location for China’s commercial space activities. The latest mission is part of China’s ongoing effort to build large networks of low-orbit satellites that can provide internet connectivity from space. The rocket lifted off at 12.10 pm Beijing time and successfully placed the satellites into their designated orbits.
