A Lijian-1 Y8 carrier rocket carrying three satellites — Pakistan remote-sensing satellite (PRSS-2), AIRSAT 03 and 04 satellites — was launched from a commercial aerospace innovation pilot zone in northwest China, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
The satellites were successfully placed in the planned orbit, it said.
