Thanks to this misdion all the satellites entered their intended orbits, the Xinhua news agency reported.

According to the source, the launch marked a new step forward in the development of the national satellite internet system and the commercial use of the country’s space services.

China has increased the number of space launches in recent years to strengthen its global communication network and expand international cooperation in the aerospace field.

Among the milestones of Beijing’s space program are the rover that reached the far side of the Moon and the construction of the Tiangong or Heavenly Palace space station.

In addition, the Asian giant is constantly launching satellites for a variety of purposes, from remote sensing and commercial services to communications, meteorology, and research.

In 2007, China launched its own navigation network: the Chang’e 1 probe began orbiting the Moon, and the BeiDou-1 satellite laid the foundation for an alternative to the US GPS system.
