China on Wednesday launched a Lijian-1 Y2 carrier rocket with 26 satellites onboard.
The rocket blasted off at 12:10 p.m. (Beijing Time) from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China, and sent a group of experiment satellites into the planned orbits.
The satellites will be mainly used for technology verification and commercial remote sensing information services.

A British Columbia man said he is trying to determine whether an object that splashed down in his backyard pool was a meteorite.
Justin Broad said he was outside his home in Delta earlier this week when something fell from above and splashed into his pool.
He said the object, which he suspects may have been a meteorite, was slightly disintegrating in the water.
