China on Friday launched six new satellites into space, state media reported.

The Jilin-1 Kuanfu 02B 01-06 satellites were sent into space from Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in the northern Shanxi province.

A home-built Long March-2D carrier rocket carried the satellites, which entered the preset orbit successfully.

It was 536th flight mission of Chia’s Long March carrier rocket series.

The latest satellite launch comes a day after China launched two new BeiDou-3 Navigation Satellite System (BDS-3) satellites.
