Long March 4B launch of Yaogan-43 (01) (Xinhua) China launched a set of reconnaissance satellites early Friday. A Long March 4B rocket lifted off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center at 3:35 am EDT (0735 GMT) carrying a payload designated as Yaogan-43 (01). The payload appears to feature up to nine satellites that the Chinese government said will be used "to carry out new technology experiments for the low-orbit constellation system." Yaogan satellites are typically linked to military programs, and it was not clear what constellation the government statement referred to.
