A Long March 4B rocked launched the latest in a series of high-resolution remote sensing satellites Thursday. The rocket lifted off from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center at 11:10 pm EDT (0310 GMT, 11:10 am Beijing time Friday) and placed the Gaofen satellite into a Sun-synchronous orbit. The satellite is the latest in a series designed to provide images with resolutions sharper than one meter. The rocket also carried a cubesat that will be used for educational applications.
