China on Monday successfully sent three new satellites into space from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in the southern island province of Hainan.
The satellites, Shijian-23, Shiyan-22A and Shiyan-22B, were launched aboard a modified version of the Long March-7 carrier rocket at 6:00am and entered their planned orbits successfully.
The Shijian-23 satellite will mainly be used for scientific experiments and technical verification, while the Shiyan-22A and 22B satellites will conduct in-orbit verification tests of new technologies, such as space environment monitoring.
The launch was the 459th flight mission of the Long March rocket series. (Xinhua)
