China successfully launched new-tech experiment twin satellites on the Long March-2C rocket from southwest China's Xichang Satellite Launch Center on Wednesday morning.
The twin satellites were launched at 11:30 a.m. local time, and entered their intended orbit.
The twin satellites are to link the inter-satellite network and conduct new technology tests on Earth-observation.
It was the 278th mission of the Long March rocket series.
