This morning at 6:11 a.m. Beijing Time, a modified Long March-6 carrier rocket carrying the 15th group of low-orbit internet satellites lifted off from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi Province on the Chinese mainland.
The launch sent the satellites into their preset orbits and marked the 613th flight mission of the Long March rocket series, underscoring its role as the backbone of China's space-launch capabilities.
As China's low-orbit internet network grows, each new batch of satellites enhances global connectivity potential, supporting a range of digital services and applications. The Long March-6 rocket, valued for its efficiency and adaptability, remains central to these efforts.
With this latest deployment, observers around the world are gauging how China's expanding satellite constellation will shape the future of internet access from space.
