China launched a "high orbit" satellite Thursday to provide internet access across the country. A Long March 3B/G rocket lifted off at 8:03 am EST (1303 GMT) from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. The rocket deployed a satellite called Weixing Hulianwan Gaogui-01, or High orbit internet satellite-01.
