YANGJIANG, Guangdong, Feb. 12 (Xinhua) — China on Thursday launched a Smart Dragon-3 (SD-3) carrier rocket from the sea, sending seven satellites into planned orbits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SD-3 commercial rocket blasted off at 2:37 p.m. (Beijing Time) from waters off the coast of Yangjiang in south China’s Guangdong Province. The seven satellites include Pakistan’s PRSC-EO2 satellite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The offshore launch mission was carried out by the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday’s launch was an important achievement of China-Pakistan space cooperation. The PRSC-EO2 satellite is equipped with high-resolution optical payloads. The remote sensing data it acquires will serve Pakistan in various fields such as land mapping, environmental and natural disaster monitoring, and natural resource protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the fourth time that the SD-3 rocket has undertaken a commercial launch mission with multiple satellites onboard, showcasing its core advantages in payload adaptability, application scenarios and commercial service capabilities. \u25a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
