China has successfully launched two test satellites, Practice-9 A and B, into orbit.
The satellites, launched from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in north China’s Shanxi Province, aboard a Long March-2C rocket, are the first civil satellites to demonstrate new technology.
The mission is to test high precision and high stability control systems, efficient power supply and advanced thermal control technology. This series of satellites has previously been used with a variety of configurations and missions for scientific research and technological experiments.
