China successfully sent a new group of low Earth orbit satellites from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in the southern Province of Hainan on Tuesday.

The satellite group, the third of its kind that will constitute an internet constellation, was launched at 4:10 a.m. aboard a Long March-5B carrier rocket with a Yuanzheng-2 (Expedition-2) upper stage atop the rocket. The satellites entered the preset orbit successfully.

The launch marked the 573rd mission of the Long March series carrier rockets.
