CHINA launched the SinoSat-6 satellite for radio and television live broadcasts at 12:14am yesterday from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province.
The satellite was carried on the Long March 3B rocket which took the SinoSat-6 into a geostationary transfer orbit 26 minutes after launch.
In the next few days, the Xi'an Satellite Control Center and Yuanwang tracking ship will manipulate the satellite's position and transfer it to enter the geostationary orbit.
SinoSat-6 has a lifespan of 15 years and will eventually work at longitude 126.4 degrees east about 35,700 kilometers above the equator, said the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the satellite's researcher and producer.
It will mainly serve to relay TV and radio live broadcast signals and greatly improve the signals in remote and mountainous regions, according to China Satellite Communications Corporation which operates the satellite.
SinoSat-6 will serve as a substitute for SinoSat-3 which was launched in 2007.
