China launched a new set of four satellites as part of the Tianmu-1 weather constellation into space on Monday.

A Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket, carrying the No. 11, 12, 13, and 14 satellites, blasted off at 9:00 a.m. Beijing Time from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China.

These satellites have successfully entered their preset orbit and will be utilized to provide commercial meteorological data services.

Tianmu-1 01 and 02 were launched on January 9, followed by satellites 03-06 on March 22, and satellites 07-10 on July 20. The Tianmu-1 satellite constellation aims to collect global atmosphere data for comprehensive detection of the ocean, atmosphere and ionosphere worldwide at all times.
