China on Tuesday blasted off into space three satellites from sea, the second time this month.
As its 503rd mission, a Long March-11 rocket launched three Shiyan-24C satellites from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in the waters off the coast of Yangjiang city in southern Guangdong province at 6.39 a.m. (2239GMT, Monday), Beijing-based Xinhua news agency reported.
Shiyan-24C satellites will be used for space science and technology experiments.
Early this month, China for the first time launched a satellite into space from the South China Sea.
Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center had launched the Smart Dragon-3 (SD-3) rocket carrying the CX-19 satellite into planned orbit to test satellite internet technologies.
