At 17:35 (Beijing Time) on July 3, a Long March-4C (LM-4C) carrier rocket lifted off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, successfully deploying the Test Satellite 28B-01 into its predetermined orbit. The mission was a complete success. The 28B-01 satellite is primarily designated for space environment monitoring and related technological experiments. This launch marks the 111th flight of the Long March-4 series rockets and the 583rd mission overall for the Long March rocket family.
