 Long March 3B rocket

China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology

AsiaSat-6

42nd


China re-entered space yesterday evening, sending a communication satellite into orbit atop a Long March 3B rocket from a launch pad in Xichang in Southwest China's Sichuan Province. A spokesman for the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology said the flight, which blasted off at 8 pm, is the 84th successful flight of China's Long March rocket since its maiden voyage in 1970, and the 42nd consecutive successful flight since October 1996. The successful launch of the communication satellite, AsiaSat-6 which will be used by Hong Kong based company APT Satellite Limited, represents the return of Chinese rockets to the international commercial launch market after an absence of seven years, said a spokesman.
昨晚位于中国四川省的西昌卫星发射中心的发射台，一枚代号长征3B通信卫星被送入轨道。 中国运载火箭技术研究院的一位发言人说，今晚8点发射升空的火箭是自从1970年它的处女航以来，第84次中国长征火箭发射成功，也是自从1996年第42次连续成功飞行。 发言人说，香港公司APT卫星有限公司使用的亚洲Sat-6号通信卫星的成功发射代表中国用7年的时间让火箭回归到国际商业发射市场中。
