China sent four satellites into planned orbits from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in northern Shanxi Province on Friday. The satellites Beijing-3 (BJ-3), HISEA-2 (HS-2), Yangwang-1 (YW-1) and Tianjian (TJ) were launched by a Long March-2D rocket at 11:03 a.m. (Beijing Time). Developed by China Spacesat Co., Ltd., the commercial remote-sensing satellite BJ-3 can provide services in the fields of resources survey, city management, environmental monitoring and disaster relief. The HS-2 satellite will be used by Xiamen University to study the ecological environment of the near shore and shallow sea.
