China launched a set of imaging satellites Thursday. A Long March 2D rocket lifted off at 3:39 am EDT (0739 GMT) from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center and placed three Yaogan-39 satellites into orbit. Chinese media described the spacecraft only as remote sensing satellites, although the Yaogan series are typically for military reconnaissance.
