China launches next-gen telecommunications satellite

China has successfully launched a new-generation telecommunications satellite, the country’s Defense Ministry has announced.

The launch was carried out at 15:19 GMT on Thursday from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center using the Chang Zheng 3B (CZ-3B, or Long March 3B) carrier rocket, the ministry said.

The second Tongxin Jishu Shiyan (TJS) satellite will help test multi-frequency high-speed data transmission. China plans to carry out about 30 space launches in 2017.
