Beijing: China on Saturday launched a Long March-2D carrier rocket to place a remote sensing satellite group in space.
As the fourth batch of the Yaogan-35 family, they will be mainly used to conduct science experiments, land resource surveys, yield estimation of agricultural products and disaster prevention and reduction.
China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation said that since May 5, 2020, the Chinese carrier rocket series has transported more than 200 spacecraft into orbit, including space station modules, a lunar probe, a Mars probe and manned spaceships.
