The rocket blasted off from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China's Gobi Desert at 11:52 a.m. Beijing Time. The satellite entered the pre-determined orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.

The satellite is mainly used to carry out experiments such as space environment detection.

This mission is the 26th flight of the Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket.
