The launch took place on April 7 from the spaceport in Hainan Province: the Long March-8 launch vehicle launched 18 vehicles of the seventh group of the Qianfan satellite system into orbit. All the devices were successfully delivered to the specified orbit.
The new grouping will be used to provide commercial Internet services. The project is aimed at developing telecommunications infrastructure and expanding access to communications.
China is actively expanding its space program, including the creation of satellites for various purposes and the development of technologies for long-range space missions. The national space station, which is open for international cooperation, is already operating in orbit.
