According to the Chinese news agency Xinhua, the "Beijing 3C" satellites, which are planned to form a satellite network, were launched from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi province via a Long March 2D rocket.
The launch marked the 523rd successful transport mission carried out by Long March rockets.
Developed by the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST), the "Beijing 3C" satellites consist of smart Earth observation satellites with 0.5-meter panchromatic and 2-meter multispectral resolution.
The satellites, which feature rapid remote sensing capabilities and can operate with artificial intelligence and smart imaging systems, will be utilized by the 21st Century Space and Aerospace Technology Co. (21AT), a subsidiary of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC).
The "Beijing 3A" satellite, which forms part of the same network, was launched in June 2021, while the "Beijing 3B" satellite was launched in August 2022.
